Noel Tidybeard Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Someone in the past, who was a prize chode, fitted MASSIZE heavy aero wipers to this smoll and charming ottomobile. They dont fit on the screen and are so heavy that they actually slow the wiper mechanism down. 20170309_110827.jpg They were also rigid as a ten peckered owl so I snapped them off and threw them in a hedge. Harold Halfrods and sons provided suitable petite replacements, improving operation ten hundred percents. 20170309_115232.jpg Tl;dr: new wiper blades. iirc they are 20 inchers all round so a new rear could be a second hand front- facelift got a poxy 16 rear i think Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, it was an interesting day for the little 106. It started up lovely this morning and got about half way to work before shitting a pipe clamp. BAD CAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Once at work, I parked up and strutted into the building like I was JACK THE BISCUIT. I was then asked to move the car off site as parking is not for the likes of me. I returned to the car in a sulk like I was JACK THE CUNT. The car protested this outrageous injustice by generally being dead. As I had no meter, I rang the missus who kindly drove over with it. I thanked her and sent her home. I then realised that my jump pack was flat and that the charger was at home. I checked the battery volts and thought they looked ok. I was wrong. I gave up and rang the big orange van.

Jim Bell Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Me: is it even charging? AA man: No. No it is not. I'll try tapping it with an hammer a metal rod. NEE GUD. Me: I dont really need that battery then do I? AA man: No. Drive home on one of mine and I'll follow you home and take it off at the other end. Me: okden All in all, 4/10 for fun. 10/10 for AA service. Need an alternator.

Rusty_Rocket Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 That is bad luck Alternator failure is quite common on the diesels, mine had one just before I sold it on here (year ago now).

Jim Bell Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Wow, cheers. That does look cheap. Anyone know of theres a tensioner or idler or anything worth swapping at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Check yours uses that same type of belt WilsonWilson. I'm fairly sure earlier 106s all use a normal V belt rather than a ribbed one. My petrols all did anyway, I think. It's been about ten years since I owned one. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_Rocket Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's a flat belt, with a metal tensioner/ roller. It probably won't need replacing, they're pretty sturdy. You can also pick the plastic cover off the bearing easily and add a bit of grease while it's off. Edit- yours is a ph1, so check it's not a V belt like cobblers says.. but I'm pretty sure all TUD5s have ribbed belts.. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Tidybeard Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 the 1.4 was a v belt with a quaint bolt operated tensioner so no need for the "2 ft tensioning bar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 How fecking mint is the inside of your boot? it looks brand new. They are usually scratched to hell and rotting out along the edges of the wheelarches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxxo Waftybarger Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Reg Grundies in rouge, clearly winner. Had one with boot floor full of foul brown bin juice looking liquid. Went mental shitting myself about leaks rust etc. Bro in law had transported a fucked mower and not told me he'd let few litres of two stroke sit in the boot for 7 years. Always wondered why it sloshed around corners. Rave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Would this have a Mitsubishi alternator? PSA had a habit of using Mitsubishi alternators and starters for a while and I've never known one not to give trouble.I really dont know fella but theres a couple of 106 diesels as SPEARS OR REAPERS on the old ebay that need alternators so Im guessing theyre a service part at about 100k ish. The Ignis also needs an Alt and is on 100k. Coincidence, or is lifespan of all alternators about 100,000 miles? Poorly concieved automotive conspiracy theory of the day.

Jim Bell Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 I reckon he knew something needed changing, hence volt meter, but didn't know what.More than likely true. Mind I dunno what Peugeot were thinking ommiting a battery light of any kind from the dash. Much like the BOILED light, the first warning you get is when a major component is fully fucked. Howay Peugeot. Give us a fighting chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hold on. You said it has a voltmeter fitted!It does. And I presume it was fitted precisely because Peugeot didnt fit a battery light as standard. Its also wildly innacurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
