Right,

Im fed up of my car, i want to sell it and get a new one, problem is its in a bit of a state at the moment, and needs the following done to make it worth selling.....Its a Pug 306 Xs 1.8  Reg-2000
- replacment front bumper due to massive dent and crack
- replacement front bumper due to massive crack
- replacement fans x2 as the thing overheats like a bitch
- bit of body work for minor dents
- oh and to finish it off the starter motor is about to die.

The fans arent a big issue, nor is the starter motor, as i will prob p/x it and from past experience they dont really check the car over too much, so long as it starts they are happy.

Does anyone know anywhere in/close to swindon where i could get this work done at a resonable price? Im not too clued up on prices but in my head the figure comming to mind based on...well nothing really is around £800-£1000+

Forget the overheating and the starter, no garage will really check that.

If you need a new bumper your best bet is ordering one off t'internet (£200ish) and then getting it sprayed locally (another £200-£300).

Dents wise, you can buy a suction thingy in Halfords that'll pull the dents out.

ye dents not realy in issue its just the 2 inch crack caused by the force of the dent im bothered about. but hmmm...thats pricey, im gonna have to work out if its feasable me fixin' it, to see if i would get my moneys worth.
i'll give some garages a call.

pugs suck!

No they don't!

Mine does.

i'll swap you my clio for your pug?

I'd check prices of both the work needing being done and how much you're going to get for it. You could be looking at a scrap jobby.

Of course I know less about cars than you're average embryo conceived in the back seat.

ooops tripple post

Had a clio before the pug, just as bad.

leaky sun roof,
overheated
broken driver side door (only was of getting into my car was through the passenger side door)

to name a few...


Fucking french cars!!!!!

double post

Chubbs I know a guy who sorts dents and another guy who does spraying.  The numbers in my office so email me tomoz and can get you some details

haha, mine's not too bad. 140k on the clock but pretty solid still.

just the leaky roof,no heating and a broken passenger door

Nice one mate, but cant you just remember, saves me having to and then probably forgetting.

Unless its work I forget everything! Will try

I had some body work done and got a good job for cash by Simtex - based by John Hunt car sales in Gorse hill, opposite the swiss chalet. considerably cheaper than the quote I got from a garage in Old Town - so I would guess they represent good value?

 my old chap had his car done there for cash too.in the corner behind the m&b garage.cheap and job done fine

dude, if you're still looking for quotes, i'll give you the number of the garage i use, he's ace, and cheap, and wont fuck you about. text me if you want it fella!
