Andyrew Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sorry to put this here 6's but as FOD peeps are checking in here. I've got a load of stuff to bring for people so will pinch a work van. Would people be interested in some consumables if I can get some good prices? 6pk of blue rolls £10 10pks of cheap common bulbs couple of £3ish 500ml NK brake cleaner £2.50 a can. Like the post if so and I'll arrange some stuff. I don't profit from this but it might help some shitters out!

Six-cylinder Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 The world now looks a much better place and I have cancelled my order for a new Golf! For over 11 years now I have been restoring a Peugeot 504 Cabriolet, but the project stalled when it went to a trim shop for a new hood, new carpets and some repairs to the leather seats. In spite of my numerous called to get a finish date to begin with, it was always delayed and in the end I gave up and made an annual call. Neither I nor the trimmers know how long it had been but 5 years seems likely and last week I got a call to say it was ready and could I collect it. Excitement and horror as to where to put it but today it has come home looking beautiful. What left to do, the Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection was cleaned and made to run but now will need recommissioning again. I have ordered an exhaust from Germany. Then all brakes, lights etc will need to be checked to bring it upto MOT standard. RobT, worldofceri, outlaw118 and 34 others 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Metcalfe has one for his bunch of old tat*, and seems a good idea... I saw that on his lambo collection yesterday - £5k for a truck as opposed to £25k for a barwell trailer. edit, this is someone who has paid £45,000 for an engine rebuild though, so not sure he’s entirely to be trusted.

Six-cylinder Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have been out in the 406 today, just 10 miles and the temp gauge started climbing over 90° C. I know now, this was a self inflicked panic! Oil temp on a low power diesel pretty coupe. Because Autoshite, I bought this with the EML light on, does anybody who is coming over the weekend have code reader for a 2002 406 2.2 HDi?

Slowsilver Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Funny you should ask that. EML came on on daughter's Hyundai Getz so I ordered a cheap Chinese OBDII reader from Ebay. Self-contained one with a two-line LCD display as can't be doing with all this Bluetooth / WiFi to a mobile phone nonsense. Arrived yesterday and managed to diagnose the problem with it (misfire on number #1 cylinder) and clear the fault code. Replaced cylinder #1 spark plug with a used one from when they were last changed until I can get a new set. Will bring it to the FoD at the weekend and we can try it on your Pug.

Zelandeth Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Because PSA you'll probably not get far with a generic code reader. You'll really need Lexia/Diagbox to get any useful information most likely unless it's a really basic generic code. Sadly not equipment I own (not yet anyway). loserone and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 With a heavy heart I may have to give this a miss. My grandmother who raised me since my mum died is in a really bad way and just my luck being 100 mile from home she will get even worse. Shes already stopped breathing once today and ambulance was here for 3 hours. Shes unresponsive now too and I'm rather upset over it all chaseracer, brownnova, holbeck and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 As it seemed to peak an interest. I've Lobbed some stuff together and sorted some good prices. Jubilee clip 100pc kits, k seal, h7/h4/380/382/501 bulbs in trade packs, 100zb batterys. Dot4 1ltrs, 500ml brake cleaner, petrol injector cleaner, mannol lubricant spray. Many 6 pks of blue roll.

We chucked it in the xsara last night and torque found it but couldn't connect to the ecu, carly just did nothing...
