Nice kittens there, enjoy. 8) At least you're not worrying how your dad's getting on in the current chaos. He's 87, got terrible arthritis, but he just doesn't know how to relax... Now there's a surprise, guess you inherited that particular trait. I, on the other hand, am perfectly capable of doing ...

My original 406 did this every time t'wife moved the seat to her favoured all-the-way-back/bolt upright/sky high position, accompanied by the classic 'B' type display error message, "AIRBAG WARNING". (I may have observed it had detected she was aboard). :twisted: After a year or two I replaced the s...

Usually works for me. Has a full-mux diagrams with wire numbers etc.

(You want section 60 "Protections, Openings etc.")

Hi Tim & welcome aboard. 8) That is a fine looking car you have there. :mrgreen: Also an impressive list of upgrades, particularly Auto to manual conversion How difficult was that? (I imagine you would have problems with ecu programming, gear calculation for cruise control, scaling of speedometer an...

Now you're talking. Testing, inspections or even the occasional installation job will give you the means to rake in some cash until you get on your feet. If you're crafty you'll find a way to set something like this and/or your detailing dream up and running in a small way before you take the plunge...

I was in your shoes for most of my 30's, 40's & 50's, had a well paid job / longish commute that took about 12 hours a day, frequently wrecked weekends and holidays plus emergency calls at 3am etc. I dreamed of jacking it in and setting up on my own, (I started as an electrician too but specialised ...

Hi & welcome aboard. 8) I think you might get more help form the 407 forum or facebook group, as their experience will be more relevant than ours. I have a 2009 C5 2.0 HDi but am unable to communicate with the engine ecu unless I use settings for a 407. The information available by this method is ve...

Wonderful.

Any suggestions for cleaning coffee and semi-chewed donut off my new widescreen monitor?

Video confirms your previous post, which was pretty clear anyway.
I hope the switch change works.
One other thing you might try in the meantime is unplugging and re-plugging any accessible connectors, (switch, motor etc.) you may just have an oxidised connection somewhere.

Let us know.....

Probably, but not for certain. The engine ecu uses a different data connection to the other devices, (the 'K' line I believe) so its possibly also a different fuse. Fuseboard layouts vary so it's definitely worth thoroughly checking every 10A fuse in the engine bay fusebox, or all the small fuses fo...

HI Gil & welcome aboard. 8) Usual practice as far as I know is to buy the set - ecu/bsi/key(s). I've had a quick look and haven't found anything suitable offered for sale in the UK, but there is one advert for someone selling a complete 1999 3.0 coupe for parts - maybe this would work? https://www.e...

Hi Paul & welcome aboard. 8) By the sounds of it, the motor is attempting to raise when you work the passenger side up button, but not trying to go down. The motor is connected directly to the local switch, therefore assuming nothing's disconnected the switch is at fault. I'd concentrate on solving ...

Fingers crossed, I hope he turns up.

I seem to recall this being attributed to worn injectors back in the day. Bosch-equipped HDi 90 & 110 engines often made a rattling noise a bit like a petrol car 'pinking' under full power conditions. Personally I always thought they were programmed to reduce or abandon pre and post injection at ful...
