True.

The 'i' in HDi was initially missing, for the first couple of weeks I was driving round in a High Definition 406.
Under each foggy, as the bumper returns underneath, there's a kind of inspection hatch held on with 4x torq? torque? screws. I fink this is where you attack the foggies from.
I'll give it a go this weekend when I tackle the COM2000 airbag explosive unit for MOT preparation.

Someone nicked the P off my Peugeot badge once (scratching the bumber in the process :evil: ).

I had to drive around in an Eugeot 406 for a bit. Then later, as luck? would have it, it was parked up by my MOT man at their garage and another customer reversed and scuffed my back bumper......que full respray of bumper and new badges for FREEEEEE :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

I once bought a Citroen that was called a

roen ZX

Ended up debadging it for the craic anyway.

Somewhat stroke of luck with the repair, so long as they did a good job and the subframe isn't bucked :)

(crosses fingers and hope someone drives into the nearside unmatched paintwork doors) :cheesy:

I think that the topic should be renamed for a shorter thread

I'm almost driving a Peugeo, the T is hanging on by a thread. Therefore I shall debadge my arse end tomorrow, been meaning to do it anyway. Also,
  • Windscreen still chipped
    Brake discs still iffy
    Squeal from alternator/belt which I really should see about sorting out once and for all
    Clock is broken
    Replacement clock is broken
    Replacement replacement clock is broken (I've been trying some mods, I don't think the clock likes them)
    Fuel tank issue, I fill it right up but every few hundred miles I have to stop and fill it up again - getting expensive >.<

Jasper had a cure for this, hook out the pads and file a chamfer on the edges of the friction material. I need to do the same to mine as well.

Steering wheel rattles when idling - have to hold it for it to stop (maybe my engine mounts are getting loose)
