V6, gawd my dad would die at the fuel cost! naw its 2.0 hdi rapier i think. Ive had chance to have a look underneath, on drivers side on the wishbone on the part thats held with 2 bolts attached to the car frame (i think) i can see daylight shining through the top half of the rubber, so im guessing ...

that sounds interesting? :/ variable rate power steering? i dont see any buttons or levers lol, no idea and i doubt it

I had a look earlier watching the springs while turning and rocking the car and didnt see much, on the top where the 3 bolts are they didnt move but on turning the metal plate with the big bolt did rock back and forward on the rubber when turning in each direction on both of them. I havent lifted ca...

I recently did the "10 minute drop link change" from the earlier post to cure the knocking, worked wonders :-) thanks for that Today ive had something new, the steering has become very light, where a tiny turn on the wheel gives alot of response to the wheels, it got a bit scary taking my mum shoppi...

Thanks, I got a spray of diesel in the face, but it worked :) The drain screw white thing under the filter housing, one small turn and it sheared off though, I pluged it with a steel bolt with some stretched silicone tape wrapped around the bolt as a tempory measure, any idea wherea good fit can be ...

I think i might have said i changed fuel filter last week, when it was actually the oil filter air filter cabin etc. However i did the fuel filter today, got the old one out and cleaned out the enclosure, refitted and connected the pipes back up , hand pumped the primer for quite a while while the p...

I think the garage can do this then, i like my head too much ;)

Thanks for this! I had the exhaust in mind thinking it was that or possible the suspension causing the knock, so thanks

Just to add to this, I caused a very similar fault after fixing the indicator being sloppy. The circular part that i was told not to move and tape it still i didnt do properly, and it spun and i didnt realise when putting it all back together. After testing the wheel alignment when id put it all bac...

Ok one of the things coming up to do is the springs all round. Its 406 Hdi 90 2002 and they are all peeling alot of coating and covered in rust and been on the last 2 mot advisorys Im wanting to have a go but the one thing thats bothering me is the thought of something slipping and a large heavy spr...

Yep, thanks for that, another annoying expense to add to the list!

Thanks

Im guessing it had one when it was made so it needs one now then. Thanks

Okay its a 2.0 Hdi 90 and its been bought without a cat fitted, someones put a bit of pipe in its place. Ive got to replace the full exhaust as its leaking, but is it going to fail if i refit a full exhaust without a cat ? Or are the emissions going to be too high to pass without one? Or is it a leg...

Thanks for that, something for me to look over tomorrow. Next question coming up lol

Hi, new here but i have lots of possible questions coming along as i try and help my dad out as much as i can. He has a 2.0 Hdi 90 2002 406. It was showing low mpg of around 30 - 32mpg so i said id give it a mini service, oil, filters etc and read to use egr spray into the air intake. The engine pri...
