£250 Citroen C1 Project Part 1 - Inflation Busting Motoring! *Citroen C1/ Toyota Aygo/ Peugeot 107*

Check out part 2 here!    • £250 Citroen C1 Project Part 2 - Infl...  

A small car and a small project, a 2006 Citroen C1 1.0 Rhythm. The first generation Citroen C1 is basically the same car as the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107, and at the moment they are desireable due to the cost of living crisis. These cars use little fuel (50 imperial MPG average fuel consumption), are cheap to fix, cheap to insure and cheap to tax. This example was bought for £250. It was running and had a MOT, but needing work. Here we clean the car up, fix a fuel leak and make a thorough assessment of its condition before moving on to the next job, which is to replace the clutch. Once the car was car was cleaned up, it drove on the road surpsiringly well, but the gear shift was difficult and the release bearing screaming. At that point a new clutch kit was bought. It was just as well becuase once removed the clutch disc was starting to break up! Although the clutch failure was a set back the car has little rust and has some recent new parts like a full new exhaust and front brake disc/pads. It had even been recenty serviced. Every penny counts with a project like this!
