Right for clarity. Belt one was changed a year before my ownership and within 500 Miles showing signs of head gasket going. I bought it with a misfire knowing it was either coils or head gasket. 500 Miles later the head gasket blew on the m42. I was rescued by previous mentioned Peugeot master tech and left it with him. He removed the head after finding the timing to be out and when the head was removed it had substantial head damage with smashed buckets and 6 valves bent. Still have some of the smashed parts for proof. Head was reworked new valves x8 I think new gates pump and belt and tensioners oe headgasket kit fitted 900spent and happy smiley polished China blue gti... 4K plus of happy driving. Tom arrives loves it buys it takes it away. As I couldnt find the invoices for parts as was emigrating and somehow put them in a box I couldnt find Tom decides despite me pleading with him not to go to Leicester he feels he should change the belt to aid sale of his car.. Cambelt number 3 arrives in less than 2 years at the place that originally fecked it up and now its lost 30 odd horses.... I know where my monies at as I know of at least 20 other people with the same factors involved in their engines demise never mind a few rear beams and god knows what else. Still, saving grace is that this thread will be removed as per the last ten instances.....

Might explain why it was being sold and possibly why I might have been sold down the river a bit!! Though Tom did seem to have a reason for sale.

So either the rollers are wrong, or its been messed about with, wont know until a few days when it gets checked over by someone who should know a bit more than I do!

I have no frame of reference really so hard to know.

I did read that wrong then?

I thought he said you did it right but the other "Peugeot Place" in Leicester didnt.
It was a hard read though

That was a repair made to a bent chassis leg, I had to keep that repair to a set cost, plus the jigging work was outsourced, personally I thought the repair was done to a cost and looked good for what it was, it was straight and true, paintwork nice etc, yet another car the customer never got in touch and let me know he wasn't happy, this is the first I have heard of it.

what was actually the complaint out of interest?

How did the car fuel when monitored on the rollers? If your cam timing is far enough out to lose that kind of power it would show up on that.

It could be a combination of things contributing to the low power rather than just one problem.

I wouldn't think your timing being out is the problem then to be honest as it wouldn't be fueling correctly if it was far enough out to lose that. Also gotta agree with whoever said above that if it was that far out your engine would be f**ked.

I think your on the right track with a compression test definitly as a precautionary check then personally I'd get it on another set of rollers to confirm you even have a problem.

I can't see a car fueling good, running as sweet as you say and being that down on power, it just doesn't make sense.

If you need my address its in my sig, I am there 9-6 Monday to Friday and 9-2 on Saturdays, lets see how manly you really are. Trading standards heh, think you have to give the garage a chance to put any issues right before you can go that route, ah yes, never seen any of these cars so yep that's correct nothing to follow up on.

Plus this shoddy workman ship on a car that I did work on for a previous owner (Jamie) he used it for track days etc with no issues, where does your mate come into this? He has no contract with me, although I did ask him to let me look at it and see what's what, he chose not to, what more can I do? Exactly, not a lot.

I love the way you seem to take on other people's issues! Childish names make you look great on a computer too, put the keyboard down.

That's all I have to say on the matter.

To the op if you need any help etc or just a chat gimme a call I am sure we can sort out what's what, if the car starts and drives ok and has no real issues so to speak it can't be a great deal that's wrong with it.
