Just had one of my rears pop the circlip and roller out due to lack of lube.
stripped it out and carried out a refit and re-grease. All okay :-)

'99 406 HDI 90 GLX Estate running 135k and still going, touch wood.

I had a clutch done on an HDI 90 2.0 Estate at 125k with the lower engine mount done for £400 incl. VAT from my local garage. That included a full drain and re-fill.

Well mine's been slightly off true ever since I bought the car 10k later still the same,hope it holds

Mine is always sitting proud by a few mm's never given it much thought though, car runs fine

All of a sudden my car has decided to stop 30 seconds after first starting it.

A restart see this cured but it is now becoming tedious.

Is this a heater plug post start timing issue, the relay or the BSI?

Thoughts appreciated.

Car runs perfectly once it stays started the second time.

Yep, mine were the same, ball bearings every where

When I did my springs on my D9 the top strut bearings disintegrated when the leg/ spring was removed so never seen this myself. However from the state of my old one I can see how they would be totally shot.

Bumpy West Yorkshire roads mean it cuts in and out alot. All okay stationary or on a decent piece of road.

The car is a D9 HDI 90 estate so yes boot mounted CD player. I thought the head may be jumping as the cd player looks real cheap, it could be both but not easy to tell.

My CD player speakers cut out over bumps but the radio does not, so where does the CD player pluginto the common speakers?

Any ideas gratefully recieved.

I have the same software and same hardware. My light was extingushed by resetting it but the fault had also gone away. My fault was a sticky throttle pot which cleared itself.

What is the error you are resetting?

I paid £400 for the complete clutch and a lower engine mount from my local garage

It was well worth the money.

for the reader.

YOu will need a USB to serial converter with the model I bought. If you get a USB version of the ELM 327 forget the converter.

Well that is a good question.

I know the throttle pots do wear out and there is every chance at 127k that mine is long overdue a new one.

Will give it a month or so as the speed rises and lowers quite well after giving the pot a couple of full swipes with the accelerator pedal.

Just reset the annoying engine management light on my 406 D9 HDI 90. It was a throttle pot sensor that had registered when the throttle pot got sticky a month ago. The ELM 327 from ebay worked straight out of the box only needed a usb to serial converter cable and away it went. Was able to read and ...
