Thanks all for your welcome.
Yes the above is definitely true as the wife has not 5 minutes ago broken the dipstick off in the tube.
Add this to the blowing exhaust and the leaky sump and the loose panels, it looks like I've been and gone and got myself a hobby 

Oh, did I mention that I love Pugs?

Seeing as I'm 'newborn' I'd best lay some background.

Born ages ago in 'Ecosse' and moved here 'bout 5 years ago (best thing I ever did)
Bought aforementioned piglet last year for the wife coz nothing Japanese was gonna do it (not without at least two turbo's, anyway)
and continued to enjoy this little nugget of european handling prowess ever since. Not that I drive it often.
SWMBO loves it to death.
Over the years have enjoyed many, many French motors and as it happens still own a few which are languishing in a highland field somewhere in Scotland.
In no particular order, 106XS, XSi, GTi, Rallye, actual Rally car , 205GT, GTi (both, and lots of rally cars) XS, Rolland Garros. 206GTi, 306 GTi-6, Rallye, XSi, 306 MAXI kit car (not ours but have encountered one in the flesh) 309GTi, 405GLD (First car) SRi, Mi-16, Mi-16x4, 406, 504 wagon and a few others. Renault 19 diesels, Citroen Saxo VTS, VTR, AXGT, AXGTi.
It's quite nice actually coz folks on here are likely to know what al these cars are and what they look like
Most of the cars mentioned weren't mine but it's a list of all the cars 'we all owned' over the years. Lots of these cars were 'communal'.
Some still are I believe. The rest were either crashed to death, sold or dissolved slowly (or quickly) into the Scottish countryside. Shame, really.
Service crewed for a championship winning 106 Rally car for a few seasons which was awesome. got to see and work on heaps of different Rally cars.
See a Metro 6R4 running if you can. Awesomeness!!!
Having said all this I cheat coz i ride a motorcycle every day (BMW) Probably one of the few things to outhandle a 206GTi 

Cheers, Gav

Welcome pal !!!!!

6r4 = drool

[McSweatydoug01]

who did you service for in the rallying ?

[hoser]

Dude called Fergus Gray, ran out of Auchterarder.
We used to do a fair bit of work at the house and the rest we did at Strathearn Engineering (Land rover garage). got a bit of sponsorship through them coz the navigator ran it

Hope that works. It was taken at the Pendragon in '05 and I think this was the impact that ended our event (broke a drive shaft) although I did get to see a road going Peugeot 205 T16 parked next to an RS200

Had my name on the side of the car once for an event at Crail but I suck at reading pace notes.
Thankfully I was a better mechanic
