Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - An open air picnic in mid September!

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Damn, I wish Cornwall was nearer everything else sometimes. Will have to try and head FODwards at some point and sit in that fruity little Spitfire 6.

ShiteFest Kernow, anyone? 😃

Surely that's exactly what Cornish natives don't want?

I came into the FoD this morning and knew a shiter was already here because there was a tatty Carlton in the yard. Then I remembered it was mine! 

Can't get away from shite (c)

A warning light has come on the 2002 Peugeot306 cabriolet, has anybody who is coming to the FoD tomorrow Sunday got a code reader?

[hairnet]

[Ghosty]

Late 306s need Peugeot Planet/Lexia for code reading. I couldn't code the keys on my old 306 for that reason.

Isn't that the ABS warning light perchance?

Yes, but what component is playing up.

Ahh I see the need for the tool now. At a guess it could be a wheel speed sensor/the sensor ring itself. Those things do love to get gummed up and all sorts. I've no doubt that's been thought of already.

It was MOTed 22nd Dec 111,643 miles now it had 111,675 miles and failed in storage although I am not sure it was on when I moved the car outside today.

Is the battery known good? Low voltage can cause problems.

It has a flat battery and is on charge right now.

Chris, I've just had a look at my Delphi software and it reckons it can talk to the ABS on a 306.  I can't make it this weekend but I'll be coming more or less past the FOD next Sunday on my way back from Somerset and I'll have my laptop with me if you haven't been able to get it sorted before then.

306 does not have ESP.  It's unquestionably an ABS fault, but of what flavour is not clear.

[Crackers]

It's French

Yeah make me feel bad for not coming along why dont you!  (Did not quite realise that there would be a fair few members this time, had figured it would be still fairly sparse like last time)

but on a more serious note always nice to see the pair again  wonder what was being discussed!  

[hairnet]

This man is not a hairdresser

 

[Smoll Floatylight]

Vauxhall Astra Van, parked up on the Field of Dreams. My first  words the front end looks a bit low. Then found out why front drivers side spring is just a little broken.

[Zelandeth]

I'd not read too far into any warning lights in the 306 until it's had a decent run out with a fully charged, healthy battery.

This whole range is renowned for throwing electronic hissy fits if the battery is weak.

If it persists then yeah, getting it hooked up to the scanner will be the order of the day.

When the battery was failing on my first Xantia I had faults logged for systems the car didn't even have!
