Is the old girl to far gone or does it stand a chance of coming back to life ??? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That proud look on his face as the lights came on 😂 quality as always al.....
French cars have always had good comfy seats and still do.
mans a magician ... best channel on youtube bar non!
Brilliant to watch a man who clearly loves his work.
Merde, i'm getting old ..😊
All the stuff of my youth are in museums or rusted away..
But sometimes here and there appears a rescue man❤
Sunday is now complete 👍
Thia goes well when your eating a roast 🎉
Well done indeed, thought this one would be too far gone even for you to wake up!
I could watch this fantastic channel all day long … thoroughly enjoyed this episode Al ,thank you 🙏🏻
Wow Al, you've breathed life into another one. I admire you skills and ingenuity.
Hey AL, one of your best barn find/ will it run? videos, that'll make a brilliant restoration project for someone & it actually started too! To think this 42 year old pug was only 10 years old when it was parked up! Yet by not selling it on at the time, they have actually helped to preserve it's existence!
Al 6D diesels looking decidedly chuffed with himself at the end there.. 10/10 fella
You absolutely great with your work 👏 👍 ❤
Having a clear out he says…whilst instantly replacing the camper with another long term project you’ll likely never have a chance to do 🤣 - I bet your mrs just rolls her eyes now lol
We had a 305 diesel Van back in the day and it was brilliant
Never gave up and always started
Super reliable workhorse
Keep up the good work Al
Presentation by the " New Sting " 😂
Only you Al, only you 👍
I wish I had a fraction of your know how with cars..always a joy to watch you bring these vehicles back to life 👍👍👍👍
Well that is just fantastic. A man after my own heart. Delighted to see that. Nothing like witnessing an abandoned hedgehog coming back to life. Fair play.
Wow no way did I think that wudda started up, what a talent you have, thoroughly enjoyed watching you bring her back to life 👍🏻
Blimey an early 204 engined pre 1984 facelift 305 estate! Ace!! 👍👍
Fantastic video!!! One of the very best channels on CZcams. How I wish cars looked like the 305 these days! Huge 305 fan. Keep up the brilliant work
Very entertaining Al, thanks.
The headliner is still better than my MK5 Golf. 😞
I'm lovin' this channel, your enthusiasm is wonderful Al.
Incredible!
Wow what a find! My dad was a Peugeot dealer when these were new, he's always said they were quite good, would love to see it sorted!! 👌👍
Love your videos al have nearly every video watched ☺️
If you need any parts hola. Got a shed full of old Peugeot bits around the 05 era. Lot are new from main dealer stock. Great video!
Could do with a few of your parts to keep mine alive if you're in the uk
A brave man indeed. Bought a new t shirt and started working on the car. My wife would kill me. Great content as usual Al.
Quality viewing Al top class !!!!!!
you have a great flair for this kind of thing. Lucky you can use these skills every day, to make people happy.
Top mechanic.
Another superb will it start video from you, 👍👍
The riot wagon is looking good.
Great video as always.
GREAT CHANNEL LOVE IT
Love your videos!!
Another little gem saved! Always liked those Peugeot interiors.
Bought a 305 he says, my immediate thought was for the floorpan to fix the van! Wrong! Well it actually sounds sweet once it was running. Amazing that people park cars up and leave them for 30 odd years. Great vid Al.
Original plan was for the floor pans !! That might have changed and I think I’ve found some new ones
Good cars very good engine
Finally subscribed 👍 Very interesting. lots of Funage.😊
5:26 facial expressions cracked me up 😂
Happy days let's hope it gets to enjoy the open road once again 👍🏻
Top quality character.😂😆👍
See why they loved these in North Africa, particularly the diesel ones. Bombproof simple engineering that works. “Self lightening” got me going again😂😊
Always a joy to watch you Al, whatever you are doing! 🤣
My late uncle Ronnie had an n reg 75 model back in around 1980/81 he hated it called it an effin pig.😅lol
Love the sarcasm and wit of these video’s, love to know what the music is,
One of my favourite videos of the week. Been watching you back catalogue too, really enjoying the channel, definitely one of my favourites.
Awesome, thank you! 👍
I just love these video's.
Such a lovely car, the 305 estate. And as an extra a Peugeot J5 van. I like those almost as much as the old Mercedes vans (Dusseldorfer and Bremer).
Another fantastic video Al, so, so watchable.👍👍
Great video Al best way to start a Sunday morning mate 👍
Great going Al. Love all your videos.
just love the videos and the wiltshire acent but most of what you say is lost because your microphone need to be replaced for a better one.. thanks alan,
Great episode .
Another excellent video.
Great stuff again Al
Fantastic stuff.. another great vid..
Absolutely cracking!
great content good to see the car run after 30 odd years love your work mate
Great video. Keep up the great work Al
Brilliant video from Al the magician ❤
My dad had the saloon one in 1987 it was two years old .he never had it long .it over heated badly. the radiator and water pump went at same time. he couldn't find those parts anywere in the UK. they weren't that common back then .he sold it to young guy that had rusted out one ready with parts lol
Fab vid Al great job mate!
Another great video has always al 👍
Wow what a beautiful Car congratulations getting it going sounds great
bellissima.....è stat la prima auto che ho guidato. un saluto dall'Italia !!!
Cheers fella 👍
Great video as always, would be a lovely restoration project this I hope so Anyways. Until the next one 👌
Brilliant video al, its alive!👍
Al 6D Diesels, is there no vehicle on planet earth that you can’t throw a battery on and wave your spanner’s at, give a squirt of the old go go juice and it’s alive? Don’t matter it’s condition, the amount of years it’s been neglected or even if a few parts are missing guaranteed you’ll get it running. Love your knowledge on anything engine related. Keep on entertaining us with your videos.
Be great to see what you do with this old pug Al 👀👍👍
Spot on Al 👍
Love it!
Brilliant video very funny 😂
My dad had one of this when I was a kid, god he hated it lol it was only a few years old at the time and kept braking down, I think it was 1.6 petrol and was gutless, he used to pass everyone on a downhill section of the motorway then everyone passed us again as soon as it hit a hill. FWY 112T think it was the same colour. (I remember all the reg numbers of my dads cars as I grew up but can’t remember my own)
Thanks
Amusing video as always !. An interesting find. I thought it was good to hear the engine suddenly crank much faster on the same battery supply - possible the starter motor brushes has finally met the commutator properly ?!. Keep up the good work Al.
Wow!
Amazing🤩
Looks like a great project for someone as i think it may just sit in the yard awaiting your attention like so many other projects im not having a dig or oat iv just got my sensible head on today PS loving the content cheers bud 👏👏👌👌🤝🤝👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome v log never thought you'd get that going again , needs a tickle with the welder & clear coat the rest would look good as a ratty style wagon
Great channel AL, really like your videos , could watch a lot more, very interesting
Al I've just discovered your channel and this is a candidate for a patina restoration. Someone who has the time could make it into a decent little runner. Good video bud.
Indeed Wes re on it, the Palme is to hit the festival of the unexceptional next year. No paint work will be done it’s staying just the way it is👍
you out done yourself again Al , the moment you said it turns by hand it was a dead cert it was gonna run , this old stuff just dont ever seam to fail clean the carb ,tweek the points and it will run , top quality video as always just the sounds a bit rubbish at times but hey ho thanks for the content and the giggles
Excellent
Good wan, out with the petrol heart and in with a 1.9xud, class job, comfy seats , used to drive them years ago in van form, great find.
Xud won't fit the mk.1 engine bay chassis.. the mk.2 305s were heavily modified to take the xud.. mice idea though.
Said before Al can start anything....well do ne..Great vid
Awesome, rarity! may your fan belt forever turn the corner :-)
Brilliant
Very nice peugeot that
A right royal french job, from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, Furze Platt...
Had a saloon one back in about 87 while my Sd1 was off the road ,, poped a drive shaft doing wheel spins as you did back then ,it had the yellow headlights
Love the channel Al ,,, 👍
Another great entertaining video.(My wife doesn’t get it).
Hired a 305 for a few days back in the 80’s, I remember it as a very comfortable car, nice to drive too. Covered around 300 miles in 4 days.
The break 305's rear suspension was amazing.
Can’t wait for Sunday to arrive. 😂
Am selling a 404 1978pickup in Kenya,am the first owner
What an amazing bit of chod. Chapeau El Capitan.
I had an ex taxi diesel one of these in the early 90s. was a Ph2 though. Truly terrible and great simultaneously. A360KKB
Extreme optimism
Great video but i dont do pugs now everyone ive had the cylinder heads always went so i stay away from them now due to that fact,The clylinder heads are verry weak and keep going..anyways rhanks for sharing and see you in your next video.
Grosse problème corrosion, big job
