Yeap, thats it.... my trusty car has died this morning.... Its a 1997 P reg Peugeot 306 1.9 Turbo Diesel. Done just over 150k miles, and was going strong........

Untill last month when it needed a new clutch.... then break shoes... then some pillock reversed into the front indicator... then a cat jumped in front of my car and broke the bumper.... then the exhaust broke off (had it fixed)

and finaly this morning, it gave up the ghost. I started it up, and it sounded like i was in a tank! Smoke was bellowing out, rattling like a trooper and loss of revs when starting off.

Took it to a garage, and got it on the ramps, to find that its blown a gasket, and the turbo has blown [shocked]

Nooooooot good! So its now going to be turned into a cube! I have had enough of paying out all the time!

Sooooooo, in turn, im planning on buying a new Honda Civic S type, or R type.... Ideally i would love an R type, but its insurance group 17, while the S type is 9.... Lots of price difference.

Just pissed off it died this time in the year....

Oh, and my insurance runs out 16th this month [cursing]
