To give you an idea I have a X reg 2.0 hdi 144 K (spooky ..) I had my local garage (merc / renault specialist but good old fashioned mechanics .. if you put fuel in we can fix it type place ) do my timing belt kit plus a full sevice .. fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, oil , good check over , etc...

Alternatively i was thinking of fitting a small filter to it and attempting to rear a couple of small koi or equivalent :lol: In all seriousness when i get the car back i am thinking of gluing a small one way valve as used in aquariums to the lowest point of the well .. ensuring a one way drainage f...

Good luck .. and lets hope the examiner isn't in a foul mood

Doh wished i had read that before doing a round trip of 350+ miles to Derby yesterday to pick some alloys up ...

Just picked up a set of ouragan alloys for the pug

however they need a little work .. so i was wondering what the opinions were on here ... powder coat or paint ?

Did contemplate diy refurb option but my spraying is no where good enough I think ...

Iain

Yes i use the same one ..very very good

I don't think it will be able to keep up with the demand though so i will need some way of keeping it charged .....

Impressive

Quite impressed with front impact ... seems to do what it should do

Do you think the car was hammered out flat again and is the one from this post ?? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7745

Yeah its a D9 .. traditional split charge tie into the alternator directly and I can imagine what the pug's computer(s) would make of that :shock: These things effectively charge one battery from another without flattening the first one .. thought it might be safer option with a D9 ... also if worst...

Thinking about an easy way to split charge a second battery in the boot .. occasionally for cooler boxes, etc but more often for jbl amp, etc ... Would it work if I connected an intelligent splitcharge relay unit to my ciggy lighter in the console then ran back through into the boot ? Obviously ther...

It should be around the 450 - 500 mark if it works out :cheesy: i believe that the service history is in with the other paperwork as well .... believed to hold 10 month mot or so .. The garage I use charged me £320 or so for a full belt kit + aux belt plus full service on my 2.0 hdi which i was more...

been told its just over 100k ... all I know is that its a petrol engine ...(I drive dervs .. being a tractor lad as it were :oops: ) i should be having a look at the paperwork next week ...condition of car, pedals, carpets, etc seem to back the mileage ... All leather interior and loads of buttons n...

I have a possible opportunity to purchase very very cheaply a 406 exec estate ....however it has a couple of issues ... 1. Onboard mileage is being incorrectly reported as 500k+ 2. Speedo switches off occasionally ( hehe I thought this was a built in feature of 406's ??? lol) its a petrol .. so i gu...

Thanks for the offer but just got back form the main stealers (should have checked forum before leaving :x :x grrr)... I think i have ordered them now ...the one i spoke to yesterday came up with a part number that service box doesn't recognise at all for £178+vat (?????) ...plus another small pipe ...

Hi, More work being done on my sep 2000 HDi 110 2.0 lx! Need to find the two pipes that come out of the condenser .. best quote so far is approx £220 inc from the local daylight robbery branch ... anyone know if there's an alternative supplier please? My local garage has already fitted a second hand...

If you find yourself reacting to any of the gloves the light coloured Nitrile gloves are best .. no latex and less pigment in to cause reactions !!!

Another useless piece of info for you


Iain
