Damn thing won’t start this morning, fuel is getting through, power to the coil pack but no spark, hoping it’s not the aftermarket alarm causing an issue (but it was fine yesterday!).

SHES ALIVE!! My FTO has been off the road for 13 years, new exhaust fitted, fluid and filters changed and she fired up pretty much first time, lots of welding and shot blasting to do before it’s on the road though @joncoupland @RoadworkUK @patinaresearch @MrCarFacts #jdm #fto

It’s balloon day, if I were a loco I’d be one these number wise…… but also noisy, unreliable and sounding like I’m about to fall apart! @Sarasasco @SydneyBridgeTMD @S26PHY @bessbbe

Bit of an update, it’s now at 12k miles, going to go over and see him tomorrow and I’ll get some pics, he needs to line up a replacement car and it should be up for sale in a few weeks hopefully.

I might be putting this up in eBay for my dad soon, 1999 Peugeot 306 vive, 2 owners, only about 9k miles on the clock, when he bought it in 2021 at 7k miles it was still on its original tyres! @idriveaclassic @PaulCowland_ @LateBrakeShow @joncoupland @bolderston_mark
