It was good to meet you Paul.

I'm glad it's found a new home and it looks like it will be well used.

Guess I'll just have to buy a proper pond liner now!

All best wishes,

Ian

For the last week or so it has been doubling up as a paddling pool for a Herring Gull chick which has now fledged. If any one wants it and you are unable to pick up for yourself then by all means sort out a courier to pick up if you wish. I found it incredibly useful and on several occasions managed...

Unfortunately I no longer have the car so this may be of use to someone else now. Sorry - Pick up only Located in Frinton on Sea Details can be found here. https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/car-specific-accessories/carbox_hs_peugeot_406_estate_97_to_04_jv10_3568/Qx@w,6M4,ME%7D@nkCu...

Many thanks for that bit of info - very helpful. I'm expecting to get the work done in stages, to spread the cost over a few months rather than have to fork out for it all at once. It's worth knowing that HDi cambelt failures are not really a 'thing' on this forum or rather they're not known for sna...

Hi, Thanks both for the very helpful replies. It looks like I have around 15,000 miles in hand to get to the 96k figure. I do just over 10k at the moment so I guess I'll get it done before 12 months is up. I've got a couple of (minor) advisories from the MOT which I probably need to have checked ove...

Hi, I've a 2003 406 2.0 hdi estate. I bought it in 2011 when it had covered only approximately 30,000 miles. Being eight years old at the time, the cam belt was changed prior to purchase. This year it has now clocked up 111,000 miles so is getting close again to needing the cam belt change. Is the a...

Thanks again for the very helpful advice. Mine is a VDO too. I got it for £67.64 from Car Parts 4 Less. Made some further improvement but stil not accelerating as well as I remembered. Yesterday I it dawned on me that the accelerator pedal was sitting rather low - I could pull some slack up with my ...

Thanks once again for the advice and explanations. I'll run the car on the ebay MAF for a while - and may try and find a way of testing the old one off car. But it's as like as not I''ll do as suggested and buy a 'proper' one. Which makes are used here - Siemens/Bosch? In the meantime I'd like to as...

I'll confess to having gone for a 3rd party one before getting all your comments on OEM. :oops: I hadn't thought I would have been able to reanimate my old PC with the parts database on it (unable to transfer to my new one it seems) - but was able to confirm with the database. The problem had been g...

Many thanks for all the helpful advice.

I'll report back how I get on!

My car is a 2003 2.0 hdi estate. Over the last few months the acceleration has been dire. Engine runs smoothly and no black smoke. Garage has so far replaced timing sensor on the cam shaft as they saw a timing error code. Also recently had fuel filter replaced. EGR valve cleaned and checked. After t...

Thanks very much both for the speedy reply! I might be mistaken over what was said by the garage - I'm expecting a written estimate/quote through the post. It might very well have been the release bearing. I was surprised at the cost and will be seeing if I can get another quote from another local i...

Hi, A couple of days ago I noticed a squeal coming from the clutch when depressing the pedal. There is also some vibration at the biting point as well. The local garage has had a look at it and thinks it's the DMF. (The car has covered about 76000 miles - I bought the car in 2011 with only 30000 on ...

Thanks all again for the info. Based on the replies here I decided to 'risk' it and between 22nd - 29th covered just over 1200 miles in total - 800 miles to Cornwall and back and about 400 whilst we were there. This included some pretty steep hills - 1 in 6 or 1 in 5 I think. So as far as I can tell...

Anyone heard or or used Alientech for a remap? There's an agent/franchise fairly near to me.
