Re: Water in rear footwell

Took the door card off today and lo and behold, the door lining sheet is pretty much sellotaped down and is torn to bits. Do you know of anywhere i can get another one. Oh, and where would i get this tiger seal from? Thanks.

Re: abs on 2001 hdi

I was just going to post the same thing on here. It only seems to happen at low speeds just before the vehicle comes to a stop. The only difference is that i have had the words ABS FAULT/BRAKING FAULT come up on the centre console. This only comes up from time to time though.

Door card upholstery

Does anyone know of anyone who can re-upholster door cards. I managed to get one from the scrappies but have noticed that the material is all saggy. Ive tried spraying spray glue behind it and refitting it but cant stretch it enough to fit properly. I have a beige interior.

Wanted - Boot seal

Im after a decent boot seal for a Y reg 406 Hdi GLX as the one on my car is totally perished from the previous owner dragging stuff into the boot. Ive taken a look on ebay but no luck. I dont really fancy going to the dealers as ill probably have to remortgage my house!

Re: Fuel filter location?

I was selling my silver one but have ended up getting another one with only 97000 miles on the clock and full service history. Lovely beige interior and drives perfect. Only paid £850 and only needs a couple of cosmetic jobs doing, boot seal being one of them! Ill get some pics up soon so you guys c...

Fuel filter location?

Ive just got a filter kit for my 406 GLX but am not really sure where the fuel filter is located. Its a paper sort of one so id imagine it would be under the bonnet somewhere and not underneath like the metallic ones.

Water in rear footwell

Went into the back of my car today and noticed a small damp patch on the carpet quite near to the door. It had been pooring down heavily so not really sure if one of the seals is knackered or what? Is this a common problem on these?

Re: Gear gaiter removal?

On all my previous cars the gaiter would unclip easily at the bottom but this one doesnt seem to budge. Ive had a look through the forum and theres loads of knob pulling advi...
