Default I bought a Peugeot 106 diesel

I had to as I have been doing way too many miles in the scoob. At least now I can keeps the scoob for pure pleasure driving and continue to mod it.

I drove it way too frequently and wasn't enjoying it anymore.

I still love the car and needed to get the buzz back. So I bought a 1995 1.5 litre106. £300 quid, 10 months MOT, 4 months tax, new timing belt. 133K miles. Its a little tatty and not exactly qiuick but mechanically it seems sound.

I already love the scoob more.

£300 is cheap for a 106 Diesel, they tend to hold quite good money.

Great run arounds, at about 60 MPG you can't go wrong, that why i've got one

when I picked up this car the diesel light came on so I put £20 of diesel in it and since done over 315 miles before filling up again.

I am gobsmacked. The gauge must be slighly out; there must have been more diesel in it than it was registering.

I brought a R reg Escort Estate Diesel back in March.. it's done six thousand miles since on 95p a litre.. 400 miles to 40 litres.. it rattles and is rusty, but the stereo works and it's got an MOT until April '08..

It also makes driving my Scoob much more enjoyable..!
