Hi guys hope you enjoy this latest video of one of my purchases from Auction (aston barclay). Apologies for the quality of the film on this one, accidently filmed it in 24fps 🙈🙈 Anyhow enjoy 👍👍👍👍
That does look a really honest little car. My missus has always had Peugeots and never had any major issues. When we first met she had a 309, now she's got a 2008.
I got an 78k mile(I just hit 79k) peugeot 207 sport 2010 model there for 1350 - guy had it up for 1600 ... there's a coolant leak tho 😳altho it runs fine it's at the mechanic now
Great video Lee I had bought a Peugeot 207 3 door 09 plate in may this year as my first car runs like a sweet heart at the moment just wondering if it will be ideal for long distances since being an older and smaller modelled car. Again another great video Lee 👍
Look forward to part two. Also looking forward to the move to the new place. It'll be good for your subscribers numbers. Just hope you've got the time to keep going with RU-vid as you come across really well and down to earth. 👍👍👍
Gonna be a nice profit in this 207 for u Lee buddy...Paying £484 for it u can't really lose on it...nice little earner and will be nice to see it all done up and what it goes for...Great video as ever m8...Good luck with the move m8...Well done Lee...👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Nice little car. Think I would just remove the other rear headrest rather than invest in a new one. Thanks for taking the time to upload - enjoyable and informative
Just scrapped my 56 plate and then this turns up. It's destiny haha. Served me well. Ran into the ground. Absolute money pit. Made it to 147,000 - but suffered badly from the oil leak that years spec suffers from. You could have probably got some spares off mine now 🤣
Like the content Lee. Good honest info about all you do and experience. You seem a decent genuine fella too and I can vouch for that having met you at the MOT station talking about service history on a Mini not so long ago. I would definitely send someone your way if they was after a decent car on a budget. Looking forward to the next one.
My Dad bought ours at 2 years old , he never noticed the glovebox is Air conditioned , in the glovebox there's a vent obviously open and close. By closing the vent I'm positive it helped when closed inside the car. My Dad hasn't had Air conditioned touched in well over 5 years. Now we have it I'm going to get it done might as well keep up with the Air con. Ours has 63,000 but my Dad is a pensioner so maybe why it's reasonably low.
Hi Lee. I hope you had a Nice holiday 😊. That Peugeot is very very nice Lee. You can't go wrong for that money. Nice colour. You can tell its been looked after and it will probably go forever 😅 lol. Nice mileage. If it was over here in Ireland then I would have it for myself Lee. Anyway keep up the great work buddy and Chat soon 😊😊
Just watched your video.Great appraisal because you have both mechanical and sales knowledge and experience.I only ever owned 2 Peugeot 309 GTIs when cost of petrol wasnt an issue.I may have to get down and check out an Aston Barclay auction and say hello if paths cross.Hope this one gets a quick turn around and flys out with a happy new owner.
I’ve been looking for a 207 for a while now just for a little runaround but some of the prices people are asking for are pretty high here in our little part of Ireland at least I’ll get an insight into what to look out for
Looks a really tidy wee car that, looks cared for as you say. I completely agree about giving the Prince engine a swerve. I had a Mini Cooper R56 with one fitted. Lovely car, nice spec but the engine always had issues, the biggest being valve stem seals. As a result it went through o2 sensors every 6 months as it smoked them out. I nursed it along for 2 years just topping up the oil until it blew out all its coolant in McDonalds car park one evening and that was that 😂 I replaced it with a Civic MK8 diesel.
I Love Bangernomics, had to scrap my mazda 6 as was rotten , gone back to a modern classic with a 1998 R reg Rover 400 414 SLi 49k on the clock clean mot till april next year what ever it's needed it's had , under the bonnet looks brand new with new alternator and belt cambelt done head gasket done full service new radiator , battery...it's nearly mint....what did i pay......£995, and it's in the lovely Kingfisher Blue
sounds a gem lee, love a rover and i had one in kingfish blue too. been after a nice 400 or 45 for a while now am sure one will land at the right price soon enough. enjoy your 414
So I have recently bought a 207, 4/5 doors, black, petrol. The number of the engine starts with KFU and then some digits. Is KFU the BMW produced engine or not? The car was made in 2008. Also, I've heard people complain that 207 has problems with electronics. I dunno if I should just... sell it and never buy any Pug again.
Correct, working AC in an old car means something. It's not like a National Trust sticker or a bible in the back seat (it was previously owned by a nun🙄), you have to pay for it. Not just gassing up but quite possibly a new AC rad. Money boy, it speaks. 😉 L
Hi Lee love every video you post. Can I ask for a little help. I have a 2007 astra H 1.9 CDTI engine. Cleaned the throttle body valve removed it for the clean. Could see the inlet manifold has lots of carbon built up. Don't want to take the inlet off car as it seems to be a big job. Can I ask would it be ok to disconnect the air intake pipe and spray carb cleaner through the throttle body valve into the inlet manifold and have the engine at 2000 revs as I do it. Would this be safe and would it help decarb the manifold. Please help.
If you spraying a little bit at a time it would make some difference, I use the JLM cleaner personally when cleaning out throttle bodies but you need to spray a little at time and avoid pinking the engine to much. However if its built up badly then sadly the only way will be to remove it and get it cleaned off the car. Also note on the CDTI engines of this period some of them 150bhp models had swirl flap manifold systems that break up (made of plastic) and causes running and lag issues and can put the car into limp mode.
Hi Lee thank you for taking time to reply. One more question if you please. If I get jml cleaner for the inlet manifold when all the soot goes to the exhaust would it block the catalyst converter) cheers
@@Paul-wz1fl The cleaner is a solvent and will mainly combust in the chamber with the carbon deposits it breaks up. I would not be to worried about blocking a cat up. There are plenty of videos on YT about the jlm product and shown how to use it and it working. worth a look
Great car for the money , Also ive got to be careful , took my car to a local mechanic just to have shocks and springs fitted but when i got it back they have broken the plastic trim above top mounts and the windscreen wipers are sitting too high at rest now , not good , may just buy a new car next year on finance as the mechanics where i live are not trustworthy
I had a Peugeot 207 verve 1.4 2010. Cam chain broke and knackered the engine. Certainly wasn’t a ‘Celebration’ 🤣 That one looks smart to be fair , nice price in the auction .
if was chain then it was the later prince engine which is used in a mini, they are temperamental things and i buy them with caution and always check them over before looking to throw money at them for prep
Morning Lee. Just watched the Peugeot 207 video. Where do you advertise your cars for sale? I’ve looked on Auto Trader etc but can’t find you. Thanks John
hi john for years i always sold cars from my workshop a few at a time then fix some more up etc, mostly sold to locals but on occasion would put the odd one on autotrader. i also put the odd car on sale or return with other car lots i know. however i am setting up a full time site which will be open august. will update then how to find me
@@carukchannel You want to look in the glove box and see if the vent is open.its on the right , the vent twists to open and close I'm positive when I closed it.that it made a slight difference in the car.
I’ve had my 56 plate same engine since 2019. One previous owner bought for £500 with 66k now on 73k. Funny you mention passenger side noise as I’ve a loud rattle had droplink replaced months ago and then this started brother thought it was the balljoint but new arm and still the same. My question is do you think either the top strut mount or shock cause cause it
@@carukchannel I am old enough to remember when the mirrors were actually fixed to the wings instead of the doors - back in the days of log books and glove boxes. Great channel, BTW. 🙂
to be honest it was never filmed, it was featured briefly when we opened in this video but was sold within 24 hours so just slip my mind to film it. It sold for £1695. vehicle owed us circa £750 completed, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M0pI8wVXeGk.html
air con not working does not mean the vehicle is not fit for purpose however if you advertise ''air con' on the listing then its reasonable to assume it should work unless otherwise states or has been made clear on a purchase invoice if that was not so
I bought a cheap one like this recently. Worst car I have ever owned. Terrible drive, no power, horrible suspension and breaks.. just a bad car all around. I prefer Japanese or German cars myself.
