Re: Stop light when i unlock car, and brake fault

I have never had this type of trouble on a peugeot but on a vectra i owned in the past i had all sorts of weird things happening and it turned out to be a bad earth. I have no idea where they are on a 406 but it may be worth checking all that you can find.

Re: Cam belt tension

s.e.e.m is an acronym for something ,possibly in french, but it checks the tension of the belt by measuring sound waves when the belt is 'twanged'. I have looked all over for one to no avail.

Cam belt tension

I will shortly be changing the cam belt on my 51 reg hdi 90. I have changed cam belts before on the old xud engines but i am told that on the hdi i need a special guage called a "seem guage" to set the tension correctly. Does anyone know if this is true and where i might be able to get one?

Re: New member (what have i done??!!)
