Hi All, I've had to flush out my radiator and think after refilling it I've got an air blockage. Over 15 minutes of idling the temp gauge was approaching 100 degrees Celsius. (Not red line, red line begins after 110) It is a HOT day here (over 30 degrees), but I think I'll need to find the bleed val...

Strangely enough in my case the wing mirror control magically started working. I'd done nothing at all but decided one day to give it another try. My seat/mirror memory still does not work, BUT the mirrors do move when I use the controls. However my right hand drivers window control is now playing u...

Knocked the sod off. OK, full process is quite simple if you know where to lift and push from. Undo the 2 10mm nuts at the front of the base. Pull the seat towards the front of the car to get the seat off the holding bolts. Now the tricky bit is this. The arrows in the picture indicate where to pull...

OK, Mine is not an estate, It's a 406 Saloon. The manual I have for it discusses and shows the split rear backs, how to fold them down, then it promptly goes onto the estate and family estate and how to tilt it's rear seat base forward using the straps. Things I've found, My rear seat base is NOT hi...

Ahhhh, now I see the cause of confusion.

I'll dig around and see if I can find a strap/handle anywhere.

Cheers,

Hi all, First in 3 electric faults for my 406 Estate. My wing mirror controls do pretty much nothing. I've checked the fuses. One post I found was interesting. Re: Leather seat controls Postby Welton on Tue Aug 19, 2008 4:07 am Under the drivers seat there is also a ventilated ECU casing nailed to t...

Hi Steve and mjb, Thanks for replying. It's a 1997 D8 (Grill like in mjb's signature picture). I'll have a dig around for handles/straps, but if I'm reading this right "to let you put the seat backs (after removing the headrests if fitted) where they used to be" does that mean I have to move the sea...

Still getting a 404 Not found error.

Hi all, I recently got a 406 SV Estate and I'm now fitting seat covers. (Leather and 4 children do not mix) I've got everything done except the rear seat base. Now the 2 holding screws in the front are easy to see, but there most definitely seems to be something else holding the seat base in. What/W...
