That is painful. 5 of their badges would be nearly equal to the price I paid for the whole car

Best alternative, if ebay is drawing a blank, is colour code the existing badge to your car, and do what Tatsfield did over on the coupe club, and stick a lion badge over the top of it - available off the bay - if you liked, you could if you so like use the latest pug lion I will consider remaking ...

My boot lion badge first became chipped and flaked off and now it has fallen off altogether. I know this is a common problem as I have seen loads of 406's with the same issue. I don't seem to be able to find a replacement, even my ebay searching has drawn a blank. I noticed someone on here has them ...

yeh the blue and black with a red clip and wen i get a new 1 ill let u no cheers, it will go well with it's little brother... it's little brother is powering my tweeters at the moment so I have a bigger one earmarked for the mids.... it would be nice if they matched as the one I have for them at th...

Thanks, with the blue connector block ? (just to be sure ;))

Oh, and if you ever fancy selling your alpine amp (if it is the one I am thinking of) then I will buy it off you.

cheers... its the black box with the black connector block yeah?

I think mine has a white/cream box where your black one is, I am not 100% but I remember a whitish coloured box about that size when I was snooping around under there the other day.

Thanks again

That would be great thanks. If you can get a picture of where it is that would be even better (rather than just a spare one on a workbench for example)

did u solder all joints? some joints have air line cracks (dry joints) did you remove the speedo dials from the board. there are pins on them . this is a usually place for them to go as well I read your guide for what you did from the link posted earlier up on this page.... My clocks must be a diff...

I finally had a chance to have the clocks out today... they were fine. Looked nothing like any of the pictures I had seen of the faulty ones. I re-soldiered any joint that looked a bit suspect (but they did all look pretty good)... still the same. If anything the speedo seems to be working less ofte...

Welcome mate and congrats on your purchase. I've got the same intermittant speedo fault which I will fix eventually, just keep in mind 3rd at 2000 rpm is 30, 4th at 2000 rpm is 40 when you go through the speed cameras. Whipping the clocks out is quick and easy as has already been said and an opport...

i would try changing the speedo interface box i had the same problem it takes 5 min to change just get 1 from a scrappy I will, if need be, get one (brand new/refurb if there is no other option)but I would first like to know for sure if my particular model even has one. I don't really know what to ...

Thanks for the replies. I have been looking into all the possible causes, at some point the sender/strainer will need to come out anyway as the plan is to run it on veg oil, I am so glad I got the 1.9td as the HDI are a nightmare for running off veg oil (in fact I am not sure if it is even possible)...

but not a stranger to the usual french electrical systems :) I have just got myself a bit of a bargain, but being french it came supplied with the usual myriad of electrical faults. Namely the speedo and fuel gauge work whenever and however they please. I have been doing my research but before I get...
