It's been off road for two years and I've just had nothing but trouble and being messed about by multiple garages, the last one caused my car to have a no fuel fault and wont accept any responsibility and had my car for months saying they will get to the bottom of the fault but never did and still charged me for their time so hoping car throttle will see this message and hope they can save my car from going to the scrapyard.

    You've just bagged yourself a very rare car! That's got the 1.4 TUD3 engine, they're very slow but the MPG they achieve is INSANE and the engines are practically bomb proof! That engine held the Guinness world record for the furthest distance driven on a gallon of fuel for over a decade. It achieved 104MPG (87MPG-US) when it was fitted to the Citroen AX in 1989 and was only knocked off the top spot by the Peugeot 207 (IIRC) with the 1.4 HDi (DV4) engine.
    What's even better is if its fitted with the Bosch fuel pump rather than the Lucas, you can run that on 100% cooking oil which makes running it even cheaper!

The 1.3 diesels in these do like to blow a head gasket now and then, and they make about 49hp, but the mpg from them is immense.

    These kind of cars really are the perfect first cars for new drivers. It teaches you how to drive, how to anticipate (not much power and the brakes are less responsive but also less weight so it is a lot more manageable) and you can really feel the road while driving one. Also most rich dudes in fancy cars actually give you a wide birth because A. they think you have no money so they are deadly afraid of you or B. used to own one and feel nostalgic about it. 10/10 would recommend and make mandatory for new drivers.

    Love it. My first car was an L reg 106 XND Graduate which I wrote off when I was 18. That was a mighty 1.4 non-turbo diesel. This video brings back a lot of memories.
    Replaced the 106 with a mk1 clio 1.2. That felt like a rocket in comparison to the non-turbo diesel!

    As a 106 owner myself, this video is just special, those cars are just amazing, handle very nicely and they are a lot fun to drive, even if they are as underpowered as my 106 1.0i xD

    Absolutely love it. I used to go to silverlakes loads in the early 2000's. I remember me and my friend trying to buy a cut off rear end of a Ferrari 355 so we could make an elaborate BBQ but it was too expensive for us in our early 20's. I loved the pick and pull area. We would always go down there after heavy rain or frost to see what people had crashed and pick it apart.

    I've just picked up a 2003 Citroen C3 HDI 16V (92bhp version) for £350 that wasn't long for this world. Needs a few bits and bobs for a new mot (rear brake pads/discs, and a coil spring), but it's a great little car. To think for less than £60 in parts and it'll be road legal again, but it was days from being scrapped is crazy. Plus it has air con, does 65mpg, and is £35 a year road tax!

    It's absolutely mad how those structures can hold those cars like a shelf built for model cars. It's great how the Polo saloon, LS400 and Colt were saved. Just shows that there are people who want them on the road still. The 106 is a gem, give it a full detailing and it'll be a proper survivor. I also noticed a 4-door Mk2 Golf that looked to be in great condition. There are a lot of Mk2 Golfs puttering around in my area. Keep it stock, don't change anything on it!

    Well done boys ! Freakishly I did virtually the same thing 6 months ago to an L reg 1.4i Astra Estate, bought from the car auction site I work at. Would have gone to the scrap-man if I hadnt snapped it up for £553. You win, my tyres were only 13 years old. One owner since 96, under 2000 miles in last 12 years. Bought primarily to keep the mileage down on my previous daily, a 5litre V10 RS6. Apart from both being estates and both in nice colours they have nothing in common. 500 bhp difference. Love them equally.
