Re: Air vent frame color

Googles "brunito", Googles "burnished" - ah, shiny. I'm guessing you mean the 4 air vents across the dashboard? Is aluminium brunito a specific colour? Maybe somewhere that mixes up paint then, you'll need to use a primer for plastics (and make sure the vents are clean of any polishes etc. or it'll...

That does sound scary :shock: Glad she's ok now. It's humbling to realise how much we take for granted. And how much we should be angry that the Tories want to sell off in the name of profit. :evil: :evil: I forgot to mention my moles (carrot-osis) were all biopsied, all nothing of course. I think n...

Re: and today i have mostly been...

Was the cupping anything to do with the tracking? Not very impressed with the crackage though, definitely not when you're carting family about. Cost? I dread to think. I did have a squint for the tyres but, not knowing exactly the size, it's anywhere between steep and kidney. I looked them up here t...

Re: Help identifying parts (ES9J4)

Hi. It might be useful to know what year the car was built. Umm, I'm thinking this is an automatic and that's the selector switch on the end of the cable. We're a bit (lot) lacking in wiring diagrams these days but looking at this thread https://www.406oc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8234 ok, it's a m...

Re: 505 GTi Dingle dangel on the Bay

Doesn't an F make it 1989? I've kind of lost touch but I didn't think you were allowed to put a plate with a later index, making the car appear newer than it is. Anyway, private plate my bottom. Ebay just emailed me peugeot 505 gti dangel 4x4 off road rare for restoration is almost yours Yeah, right...
