I'm in a pickle guys. My alternator stopped charging just before christmas and i had to leave it parked at my wifes family home. As no scrappers were open over the holidays i had to wait until today to start searching for a replacement. I had no success today but I'm going to the largest yard around...

thanks for the replies lads, I will start by changing the slave cylinder and fingers crossed that will sort the issue.

thats exactly what i am thinking, mainly because there is still a savage amount of pressure in the clutch pedal when I try to push it down. Its just that if the release bearing is at fault then why doesnt the pedal return to its normal position? Also im reading about some 406's having another compon...

update, I just went out to see if raising the pedal would do anything and it did. when I pulled it out it stayed out and I was able to operate it as normal. with normal foot pressure I was able to press in the clutch and change gear no problem (although the bearing did sort of sound a little noisy)....

Hi folks, I was driving along today and when I tried to take off from a round about the clutch pedal went straight to the floor and wouldnt come back up. I struggled to get it into gear at first but now its moving through about 10mm at the bottom end of its swing and allowing me to change gear. Its ...

I know it seems to be a given these days that in our climate hdi's dont really require glow plugs to start easily however a mechanic buddy of mine, who is quite proficient with peugeot's developed a similar starting problem last week on his 2.0 litre 407. He changed the glow plugs and the problem wa...

cheers for the tip gumby, Anyway took the car to my mate and he drilled the bolt out and we both set about doing the rest of the job. Gotta say having an impact wrench makes a world of difference. didn't even need to use any wd40, the gun just vibrates the nut loose :) The car now feels like it has ...

Cheers ddd, I just did a little research and found that they're called clic-r clips . It looks like a pair of tying wire knips would do the job nicely. I only had a short stubby pair and they just wouldn't work at all

started tackling this job today and what a pain in the arse it truly is :x getting the fuel duct out of the way is easy enough, just undo the metal clip holding it to the fuel tank and pull the duct to separate it from the tank. then just undo the plastic clips the hold the two smaller fuel pipes to...

Hi guys long time since I had to visit the forum as the old girl has been doing grand. Lately its been making plenty of knocking noises from the rear so after a little look ive found that the drop links arent in great nik and also the arb bushes look to be in a poor state. it looks to be a fairly si...

Thanks guys.... Just had 4 new tyres put on and balanced so I'm guessing that rules tyre noise out as it was there before and still there now. I did notice that when I was going round a very long swept bend on the motorway that the noise seemed to quieten on the opposite side to the bend, would tha...

I have this same problem too. it only appears after about 60mph. If it is a wheel bearing you'll most likely not be able to detect it at stationary. If you turn sharply into the fast lane and the noise goes away/fades out then the problem is on the drivers side, likewise if you turn the sharply to t...

No worries dirtydirtydiesel.
Any chance you and I could set up a small import/export business
Looks like I have no choice but to get a new hub so. When I get around to replacing it I'll measure the ring and check for sure if it is integrated into the hub.

thanks for all the advice so far guys. the back plates aren't actually in too bad of condition. I was giving the other half lessons when she tried to take off with the hand brake still on and she drove for a couple of yards giving plenty of throttle. the little phillips head screw like things just p...

yeah Ive just been shopping there on ebay.co.uk but its still about 50 euro after delivery to ireland. It just sucks that I have to replace all that for a few broken teeth on a ring! ah well...thanks for the info
