Congratulations Ikenna351, i really envy your tunnel vision. Keep it up

Somewhere in Abuja last weekend. I have done so many remote & urban waka-waka with this lion since he roared back to life days ago and I am enjoying the experience which I have missed so much.

Lion King - Monk.

My favourite Lion for long journeys, rough roads, etc.

Spent about an hour on this very road today, without even remembering that bad road conditions are bad for cars. A big relief!

My first time seeing this thread and I read from page one. What a nice job your doing bro, it ain't easy one bit

As for the people bad mouthing this dude, didn't see anything he did wrong in this thread but you people are attacking him. I learnt a lot from you bro and I gained more knowledge on how to manage my Peugeot 406 better. Thanks

Just sitting behind & having my lunch on the rear Seat, reminiscing on most of the adventures, fun drives & pleasant experiences I have had sitting behind that steering wheel for years.

Thank you Peugeot for contributing to making this physical life worth living.

Good day bros, I need my car scanned, my location is Abuja how much will it cost me?

This is one of the few mechanics I know, that actually has more passion for fixing ur car than actually collecting ur money. keep it up

NOT FOR SALE? HOW CAN I GET ONE?

So, few days ago, I decided to deal with the leaky & bouncy front dampers, which I last refurbished sometime in 2012. I purchased the seal kits for the 2 wheels at N1,000 (about $2.6 USD). Then purchased the oil for the dampers for N1,500 a container (about $4). Was getting ball joint weak symptom on the front right side suspension which I haven't replaced since I got the lion and, so decided to replace that of both wheels which I purchased at N3,000 (about $ 8 USD). The whole parts cost me N5,500 ( about $14.6 USD) and the dampers started to work as new again. The ball joint issue went away with the new ones.

Driving into a business premise this morning, a man walked up to me from his 2012 Japanese brand and asked if I wanted to sell. According to him, he was marvelled at the condition of the body and sound of engine when I drove in.

Drove into a Federal government reserved car park this afternoon and 2 men came down from a 2010 Japanese brand and asked how old the Lion is. When I told them it's 1986 production , they asked "If you are not selling, how can we get ours and maintain them like yours?" I couldn't help but laughed so hard.

In 2010, basically every man I told I was searching for 505 V6 Stick-Shift to buy said I was either stupid and untrendy (or both) to be gunning for such old vehicle in a modern time. Ever since I got the lion, it has been a daily occurrence for men to approach the car to admire or ask if I would sell to them, which my response has and will always be "NO" .

The laughter this afternoon was because of the constant reminder from men why I stand out (stubborn at focusing & going for what I want against all odds). It feels really good.

It cost me so little to get the faulty suspension sorted and suspensions back to perfect working conditions, yet more durable than the expensive modern ones that can't handle the degree of strenuous work the 504/505 suspensions handle effortlessly. I mean, these cars were intentionally designed to keep running, and running and running, with little or low maintenance cost.

I am so in love with this Lion.

Have you considered detailing it?
It will look much nicer

As una don gang up pursue Ikenna wetin una gain?

This cult mentality here helps no one. Many of you pointing fingers at Ikenna are worse. Let's stop this gang bullying. I can see some enjoy chasing away ppl they see as threat so they will continue to be king of car talk.

If you specialize in Japanese cars. Allow European car specialist do his thing and vice versa

Stop the gang bullying

Ike gwuru....the jealousy is too much

HeavenlyBang:
Lmao, anybody wey read all those many many ramblings no get work.

you were popular in Benz thread ...are you here ?

Some days ago, was driving out of town to pick something and as soon as I hit the expressway, the lion hit over 90 km/h on gear 3, without even opening the 2nd barrel/chamber (throttle pedal wasn't even halfway down). Even with the A/C running with about 38° C ambient temperature, the coolant temperature gauge maintained 90°C on high-speed with the cut-in Electric fan & 82° C Thermostat I installed.

As underpowered as these pushrod engines were, compared to the modern petrol engines, their Torquey lower rpm experience is something these modern engines lack. Reason why the 404 Pickups could carry those outrageous abusive loads and still pull from one end of Nigeria to another, without breaking down. Even though I haven't done the repaint project, I truly enjoy driving this lion. Really love this Lion.

Weldon Peugeot!

Did an injection system diagnosis (non start issue) on this client's Peugeot 505 V6 in the afternoon (Drove to the workshop in my own 505). Found the culprit, did the repair and engine roared back to life less than 20 minutes I got there. Client is happy, Lion is happy (If you have never owned a 505 V6, you probably won't understand why the client is excited his lion is now back to life after weeks of non start issue, waiting for when I will have chance to come). Everyone at the workshop (including their customers) gathered at both our 505s, appreciating both lions.

The experience with this 505 V6 today simply reminded me of my own 200hp Peugeot 504 GL V6 Stick-Shift conversion project that is already on the pipeline. Sweet life!

@ ikenna351 what would make the rear windshield of Peugeot 406 to get swollen at the upper edge by the left side..fixed it twice but it kept on pulling out, then I noticed it was swollen at that edge. Any fix for it?

Enjoyed Driving this Lion Today

Reading post like this made me regret the day i allowed my family to sell our Peugeot 504.
My consolation is the baby lion I am trying to bring back to life.

Lion King, enjoy the good life

About 2 weeks ago, was driving inside town and suddenly I couldn't shift into gear 1 & 2. It got to a point, the 3 & 4 started behaving same. At that point, I switched to clutchless gearshift drive and got the car home. From the symptoms, I knew the culprit lies between clutch master cylinder, flexible hose and slave cylinder. Parked the lion and started using the others. Since I didn't find sign of leak on both cylinders, I bought flex from a different car brand that matched the Peugeot 505 hydraulic clutch system, 3 days ago.

Today, I pulled out the flex from the system and it wasn't really bad yet, but doesn't flow as good as the one I bought. So, I swapped in the newly purchased. But I observed that when I removed the flex, brake fluid didn't flow out from pipe coming out from master to flex. I jingled the hose from brake fluid reservoir to clutch master and boom (fluid started flowing). I pulled out the master and the hose, blew through the hose, put everything back. Bled the system from master (disassembled and carefully reassembled the master kit, while carefully putting back kit as fluid flows out). Slave cylinder started working perfectly.

Decided to use the opportunity to check and re-adjust the Intake & Exhaust Engine valve clearances to factory, which I haven't done since I completed the Engine break-in. Took another hour or so to complete the task.

Took the lion for a short spin after and felt so good how mechanically and simpler these vintage lions are to troubleshoot, repair and maintain (without electronic assistance) to a practical technically ones, which can be internally satisfying & rewarding when put back on the road, running in good shape. It's a good balance in a man's life like me which can be very difficult and even pointless to explain to one who don't understand.

Can't wait till my 3.0i V6 Classic Lion project is concluded.

There was a time certain cars differentiated men from boys. Staring at phase II 505 sometimes reminds me there was a time engineers factored in male perspectives on cars. Everything about this facelifted 505 was muscular, from how he looks, sounds, and drives. I am so fortunate to be among the few fortunate men who still have automobiles that don't let all our good testosterone go to waste or stay dormant.

I won't be surprised if this guy regularly sticks his d1ck into this poor cars exhaust pipe and makes jerky movements till akamu oozes out of its orifice
