Well yesterday i bought a 405 executive turbo its a 98 r plate, needs some stuff doing to it, pass fog light needs re-fitting (think it had a fight with a sheep or grouse!!) its still there and still works just inside front bumper ,has loads of scuffs and scratches, wants a new stalk for the wipers as the button keeps popping out the end when i turn the auto thing on!! the centre section has "detached" from the back box and is blowing from the other join aswell taxed and tested till the end of may, the remote locks the car then unlocks it immediatly - however on a 306 xsi i owned there was a thing to do with under the back seat where the c/locking module was you could do something with some earths and fix it ( but i didnt find out till i had hacked ALL the wires in door loom off and tried rejoining (and i mean ALL!!!) , have owned it 24hours and already triggered the airbag light removing the hands free that was in ! (will search to see if it can be reset l8r)
but as it was only 400 notes and 15 miles away i aint grumbling

Well thats the car now me i suppose, i am a forum slag well sort of i always join a forum when i get a car and then end up selling it, (started my current job in september and am onto my 12th parking permit!!) but hopefully i have found a long term project that i will KEEP as i cant beleive how much better than a 405 this car is!

I dont get on the net as much as i would like due to my job but as am starting a new job after easter with sundays off and 7-6 as my hours i may get time to annoy you all and ask for endless help (if you have read this post you will already have an idea of my "skills".... but i am willing!) and bore you silly speaking of which i will end this post now

b4 i go though is 4 of 6 real??? or is it someone who spends 24/7 on the net?????

Cheers
Mick
p.s can someone tell me above the climate panel is a screen and all this screen shows is the temperature in one corner is the whole screen solely for this or is some info missing?

Well yesterday i bought a 405 executive turbo its a 98 r plate,

strange, never new they made the 405 up to 1998 and with a turbo engine, seems quite unique
lol
welcome!
why couldnt i find that bargain, £400 for an exec turbo with tax and test, my 2.0 glx without tax and test cost me £700
you jammy git

[jameslxdt]

oh and that little screen would be for the trip computer if you had it fitted (its possible to retrofit, have a search)

and its for the radio if it doesnt have the built in display

Yeah I'm assuming you mean a 406? Welcome to the site buddy! (even if you are a forum slag )

I agree with James, an exec of any condition is worth £400 even just as spares, so to one find one that is T+T sounds like a good find to me!

why cant i edit my post????
i am sure if i didnt shave my hair it would be blonde..... my excuse is 6 hours kip then 2x 40 mile bus runs and then fitting my radio ...... why do people cut off iso connectors? and why do peugeot use different colour wires to every other manufacturer????????

[jameslxdt]

ive said it before and ill say it again
coz its frech

[Benner]

Because it just wouldn't be Peugeot if it wasn't hard work.

Coming Soon(TM) is going to be a nice guide with pictures on this... Soon... Real soon... *AHEM*

The trip computer is housed in the display unit, but on the exec, the French decided it'd be too much effort to add a couple of extra wires to the looms so it just sits there unused. The display is however also used for the OEM stereo, which comes as standard with a CD changer hidden (bloody well if you don't know it's there!) in the boot. You may be lucky and have the changer still there, think they're worth a few bob on ebay

If you think you might be interested in retro-fitting the trip computer wiring, you'll want to acquire a wiper stalk with the trip computer button on the end if you've got a saloon (the estate has a rear wiper, and there's no stalk with rear wiper, auto front wipers, and trip computer button)

Avoid Kwik-fit for your eggsauce. They don't appear to have the exec turbo in their books so the monkeys will guess at the bits they *think* will fit.

With your locking stuff, try giving all the door buttons (front edge of the door, somewhere between the hinges) a good work-out

cheers for the warm welcome and advice , so i beleive mine must have the stalk with the button on bugger shame its bust, yeah i still have the changer in the boot but not sure about the wiring, as loads been hacked off at the front, would the changer have the 10 or 12 pin iso plug or is that for the remote?
