id remove the drivers door card done that...it was easy :mrgreen: get the old multimeter out that went well too :lol: and work out the trigger wires, yeah, that sounds easy but didnt happen to work with the kit i bought. managed to get a refund on it but it WILL fit somehow :oops: theres not Much w...

If only everyone could use the search for "everything" 406 related, then we could forget about them bloody cars and just have some good aul banter.

if its the D9 your refering too,
ive never heard of a brain or such behind the glove box,

ithink the central locking is combined with the Bsi

Someone has called it an D8.5 before, could they be different in this?

Here i am again, wondering about a few more items regarding them dodgy electrics. :oops: Central locking apparently has a brain behind glovebox, what does this look like? Dealing with the fitting of an aftermarket central locking remote here. Preheating works with the aid of a air temperature sensor...

After they were on for a while the adjusters sized solid

Thats why the threads should be covered with grease when fitting and after each adjustment.

Coil overs on my d8 saloon a rokker set and there sh*t slightest bump and they bottom out

Had these on the mx5, very bumpy ride, not bottoming out but the squeaking coming from them was not amusing?!
Think raceland are very similar to rokkor.

Actually forgot that I used that genius idea of clothes peg spring in fuel flap, works great, fitted near hinge so is also stealthy

Some people like golden showers and pain... what about them!

I reckon whoever did that found that the seal and locking ring are a bitch to put back with the tank in place, did bodge of the century there and flogged it quick I think it was the owner before the last, because the latest one found insurance too expensive for himself and never drove it! I cant co...

The hazard I found, when diesel was leaking underneath and smell inside car:



Yeah, wood and screws holding fuel pump in place, some of the time!

Coupes have a textured grey trim, but this only extends across the glovebox and the part under the steering wheel - they didn't have trim across the doors

Thats as far as trim goes in my estate, just on dash, not across doors.
Something darker would be ok, lighter shades might not look so good.

Best mods for the 406 ithink is: 1. bin the Fake wood,, thats for rovers. and put what? piano black?! 2. one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-HDi-inside-stickers-For-Peugeot-306-406-607-206-Hdi-/250799865902?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a64d6402e have the 406oc stickers on fl...

picked up a strut brace . If like me you rather mercilessly throw your 406 round roundabouts (it's the only way 8) )then it definitely makes a difference. I did that while test driving my estate and liked the way it handled, so by then it was nearly a done deal. From my experience of fitting them t...
