I see. I was starting to think that my 406 doesn't like me. I will get the bolt from peugeot. and get the dremel out again. By the way, does anyone know the part number of the bolt, washer and nuts?

Why does the french make things difficult?

hello people, I'm in deep trouble again!! Last week, I replaced the off side rear drop link having resorted to hacking off the outer ball joint nut. This week tacking the near side rear drop link, loosened the inner bolt nut, hacked off the ball joint nut, the outer joint came off easily, undo the i...

Thanks guys, I will defo use some of these guys in the future. Had another crack at the sodding nut today. Good lord, I love Dremel, it's small enough to get to the bits i need to cut, SO I've managed get the the drop link finally replaced after a whole weekend!! another 3 corners to go. :shock: tha...

The 406 has beaten me. Tried in vain to replace the rear drop links, could not bloody get the outer nut loose. Tried tackling the inner joint, and that's just out of reach (haven't got a pit or ramp) what's more annoying, peugeot seems to know which spanner i don't have!! I'm dejected, does anyone k...

Just realised that the new drop links came with new NUTS, doh!
anyhoo, that leaves the ball joint nuts, anyone knows the size, will any self locking nut do?

cheers, feels stupid at the moment.

teamster - will look into that, i suspect i'll have my weekends filled up for next month or so...

fingers crossed, no big surprises

Hello all, hoping to get some pointers from you knowledgeable bunch, As you might have gathered, a fairly green newbie here. Bought a tidy 406 HDI90 estate on W plate, done 126K, mechanically sound. After a quick once over, I noted that the front N/S CV gaiter need replacing. There are also the usua...

here's my logic..... at 80"c (ish) the thermostat opens.... so the noise could be related to the opening of the thermostat.... could it be an air lock that finds its way to some sort of pump mechanism causing the noise? I forgot to mention that I did top up the coolant a little, although it wasn't l...

funny thing happened, haven't heard the noise since i posted.... maybe it's all in my mind.

cool, will give that a go over the week end.
thanks again.

Hello, New to this forum, some advice please. Got a clean 2000 406 HDI with 126500miles on the clock, drives well and economical (compared to my previous 3L petrol car) Noticed a knocking noise from the engine bay, loudest in the cabin with aircon off and windows up. sounds like some sort of pump.
