The strange thing is I can move the arm on the injection pump a good 20 degrees before the revs start to rise. Is this normal?

 

My BX diesel is the same, so I'd say yes that's normal. Mine has a baggy-arsed throttle response so it needs a good prod!

Hardly surprising that the poor thing was struggling to top 80mph.

Here's what I discovered today with my BX's fuel filter housing. Yuck!

Congratulations, most people who own a diesel Peugeot 405 will definitely commend them. Shame that most are quite worn out now. Estate is much more usable / practical than most other estates.

Hey Waz typical of your luck (or not, as the case may be) a late Xantia dizzler estate has come up for sale near Ellesmere Port. I have strong suspicions the vendor may be an itinerant metal collector with church-roof-scaling kids mind you.

Presumably the previous owner mixed up his Chinese takeaway leftovers and used black bean sauce instead of veg oil.
