What's wrong with your Pug?

[scrapheap]

Well, my aircon has suddenly started blowing fuse 21 now that summer is here - been working ok since I got the car 8 months ago.



Oh, and the PAS is leaking from the rack boots - 1L per day at the moment.

Just top up with fluid when you fill up with fuel, your probably using about the same!

First let me blow the cob webs off this post.....



Right.

- Passenger electric mirror, works when you put the key in the ignition (self adust or self test?), and with the memory function, yet refuses to move when using the drivers side controls?
- Need new Cat and center silencer.
- speedo no worky
- front radiator fans not coming on when temp reaches 90c
- strange noises from the dash when you put the key to accessories position
- Front grill needs them stupid plastic buttons to keep it in place.
- Torx screws breading some where, still haven't found the main nest.
- I'm sure the front heated drivers seat isn't working, as now its getting cold, my arse goes numb before the car heats up enough to defrost it.

all was well with mine till a few weeks ago, one of the cooling fans is screeching really bloody loud, the multifunction display sometimes stops working after starting, there is an oil leak i just cannot trace, the airbag light has started flashing and then stays on, but on the plus side after 15 months of ownership the drivers electric mirror has burst into life for some bizzare reason
roll on the new wreck, i mean car

James - check the connectors under the seats to make sure that one of the wires for the pretensioners hasn't become dislodged!

When I got my D9 I found one of the rear calliper sliders was siezed. I had to take the calliper off to free it and it looked like it hadn't been greased when it was assembled. I cleaned it ip and stuffed it back in the calliper, then I used a syringe (it came with dog wormer, before you ask) to squirt copper slip under the tiny boots. Unfortunatly, I got a bit carried away and managed to make a hole in a boot with my fingernail. I managed to patch it with superglue and put it back on the car, then went to Pug for a new one (I tried factors first but I got the usual "dealer only" reply ). It seems the boots aren't detatchable (like bike ones) and I have to buy both sliders complete. £40 to you sir. Yeah right, maybe next year.

Hold on, what's this?

its the mercury switch in the boot lid

Ah, excellent, now I can make that bomb I've been thinking about.

[old codger]

Heated rear screen & mirror heaters wont work-intermitant power at mirror elements & gawd knows which relay works it all.

Apart from that al is tickety boo-inc the £20 foglights& switch from scrappy that even the bulbs worked.
Boot lid sound insulation has cut the road noise down too.

Not so much at the moment, still...
....the A/C doesn´t work (fixing would approx. cost 600€. I´ll sweat.Luckily summers are short up here... )
....the exhaust is done.New one (Simmons sport exhaust system) in the mail (cost 429€. Like said, I´ll rather be sweating.)
....the original Clarion cd/radio sometimes won´t go off at all (spooky Christine -stuff that I guess we all are familiar to.... )

i already cut them out and replaced them with wire, i found out it was the terminals for the contact reel were worn, so i adjusted (bent ) them and no more light

I've had that twice. I put it down to the radio getting too hot and the software running on it crashing. I normally have to restart the engine to cut the power enough to reset the radio.

[jameslxdt]

maybe we should rename this topic 'whats actually right with our Pugs?'

[nick]

Mechanically wise - new anti-roll bars all over

Cosmetic wise... managed to scratch my rear bumper when reversing on my ex-gf's drive. I couldn't see a thing behind me and she was going "You're OK, you're OK...." *bump* ..silly woman. Not too bad though. Oh yeah, a front bumper needs replacing really and a tiny dent on the bonnet needs to be smoothed out.
