That's a ieGeek K301 car stereo.

It certainly is. I have the original 1987 unit with the car which will be going back in.

I had a look through the history which came with the Peugeot last night. The book is stamped up to 1998 by the dealer which sold the car, which was Bridge Motors (Bocking) near Braintree. I looked them up but they dissolved the business in 2018, I'd have loved to have contacted them letting them know 37 years on a car they sold new is still going, and taken it there for a photo opportunity. There there's a missing gap of around 12 years as the next receipt is for MoT in 2011, again near Braintree in Essex. Between 2006 and now the car has covered very little mileage, and despite its 11 previous registered keepers I would guess this was used as a second car from the turn of the millennium.

There's also a letter addressed to the original purchaser asking if he wanted an extended warranty, a nice little piece of the car's history.

Now the Saab is fit for daily use again I can relax this little Frenchy to get its handful of niggly jobs done and give it a full service. Autodoc seems to be the cheapest at the moment with everything I need for less than £50.

Lol at your signature!

Oddly I too have been looking at Citroen Visas and 205s and thinking where did it all go wrong

[dozeydustman]

The bearing removal tool has arrived for the 205, so hopefully in the next week or so that’s a doable job for me.

[dozeydustman]

Clutch has arrived for the C2. Just need to get some gearbox oil and that’s another motoring job for the coming week. Had a lot of house fixes to do this week.
