but seats are not electric he's just about to start breaking the car and i thought

Edited the title for interest.

Low fuel pressure eh? maybe it's had some unleaded through it? shame to break it though really - especially as a new engine can be had for a few hundred notes, useful car too

Too true welly , had quite a conversation with the owner , he's said he had
been through the usual suspects ie high pressure pump fuel rail and sensor
but to no avail (garage had done this work ) i'm still thinking about the bonnet
as he said it was mint ( and mine has the bubble fault )

Sounds a real shame. I notice you didn't mention the lift pump, (but guess you wouldn't have overlooked it).

Bet it's:
a). something minor
b). poor diagnosis
c). cr8p garage
d). all of the above


Defo go for the bonnet, puggy.

(While you're at it, slip the extra engine too - may help you keep up)

Cheeky git !!! and as i said before just you wait and dont forget road racing
is a contact sport

Hi, all the 110 Family is mine and yes it broke my heart to dismantle it but it had to be done. Poor diagnostics and 2 crap garages maybe, but £500 lighter on the wallet ment it was time to call it a day. I bought this car from Coparts accident damaged, listed cat D. It had suffered very light low frontal damage and from the outside only the front bumper cover needed to be replaced. The car was up and running with a run & drive varification on it before buying, because I aint no mechanic. I dont buy none runners because of this reason. I cant paint em but if it wont start I'm clueless. i turned out the rad was busted and the rad support took a hammering. No problem £100 fix and less than a days work and I had a beautiful 7 seater 110 straight a die! But then the problems started. Whilst on the drive ticking over it just stopped! It restarted straight away, took it for a run and it kept cutting out. every few miles, but would restart. I took it in to Homefield Garage In Rawtenstall Lancashire were upon inspection told me it needed a new hight pressure fuel pump at a cost of £400. After speaking to a few people I was put on to a diesel specialist in Longridge near Preston who said that they could rebuild my fuel pump. So I let them get on with it. It cost £170 for the rebuild and Homefield garage refitted it. I drove the car home a few miles and before I got home it conked out again. I got out to find a river of diesel running down the raod, so I blasted Homefield garage and got it back in. They still had the car a week later! Thi is supposed to be a Peugeot specialist BTW. They now told me it needed something else. A gizmo that fits on the back of the fuel pump at a cost of £80. So I bought one. It didnt fix! Then they told me it was the fuel pressure relay, another £20. Still didnt fix. Homefield garage then said it may be the fuel rail pressure sensor and he had one available for me to try, so i took the car home swopped the pressure sensor and bingo! It started straight away and kept running. I got the bill for Homefields time they charged me £120 + £40 for the sensor, which I didnt think was bad for the time spent on it. After a few days it because increasingly harder to start, taking more and more time turning over before bursting into life. Now it wouldnt start until it had been turning over for atleast a minute. So I took it to another guy I know who in the past has been good with fixing problems I had. He told me that the fuel pressure wasnt reached the desired pressure and thats why it's taking so long to start. I took off the fuel rail, cleaned it out, checked and cleaned all the fuel lines and we know the the tank mounted pump was working properly. He could give me closure with the problem so I had just had enough about now and parked it up, and bought another car.

And so now it is half dismantled and some of the bits are on ebay, along with another car I bought for spares.

Disbite the problems I've had with this car I do still like the brand and so does the missus, She wont drive anything else but her lil 206 HDi.

I now have a 52 reg HDi 90 rapier estate with 155 K miles and it's a belter.

Hi Woody

This part on ebay - 200535686089 (Peugeot 406 N/S rear doorcard 03 Rapier black)

Is that an ashwood trim on the door?

If so, would you sell me just the trim for say £15 posted?
How about the handbrake button as well?
