And what better than a rather bargainous looking 205 D Turbo? I'm going to mask up and get a train to it some time this week. I had that in my watch-list and had a bid earlier in the week @Ghosty. Looked mis-advertised as I think it's a proper D-Turbo, and they seem to be going for more money. Sounded like the seller had the needed parts for it too. Dibs when you sell.

The oil cooler does need replacing, but nobody has one in stock, not even CX-Basis - they've checked. Looks like an e-mail or call to Stan Platts in the remote hope that he might have the right one lying around somewhere. If no joy, they will improvise one from another car and modify it to fit. Not sure how that's going to work. The camshaft will also be checked to see whether it was really bent, or whether the pulley on the end was mounted off-centre. Water-oil coolers can be got from EJ Bowman in Brum. Having read the rest of the saga what about one of these for a Xsara? It looks a lot thinner than the Blingo one.

Thanks, I have three correct 58/60mm oil coolers now headed this way, with the possibility of more. Apparently the ones made in stainless steel are less prone to internal corrosion so, if any of the trio are stainless, that's the one that will be fitted. WCPGW?

WCPGW? 165 yoyos for a used one is an utter piss-take; you could probably take the shagged one to a S/S fabricator and get one made for a similar amount.

You can fit 14 human beings in a telephone box: but you wouldn’t necessarily want to. My limited experience of riding in the back of an XJ-S required me to sit sideways, folded up across the seat. The amount of swearing involved in climbing in and out to fit a new headlining would make Chubby Brown blush.

Volksy Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Brake warning light blinked on the Focus this afternoon. Brake fluid was low. I've just replaced the front pads as the lining fell off one, and there is a scrubbing noise I noticed this morning from the NSR on 'first braking'. I assume a wheel cylinder is leaking back there.. That's my job for the weekend then... paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A message came in from a Dutch CX enthusiast who thinks he has a spare used one, so let's see what happens next.... https://www.oscaro.com/intercooler-echangeur-ava-deutschland-gmbh-cn4038-1060436-468-p#/?vid=16623 This one any good?

bramz7 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Think the Laguna II suffered windscreen wash pump failure on the way home earlier. It only sprays the back window. Reading up, it looks like the pump will need replacing. To do so, remove a wheel and arch liner to access washer bottle and pump. I must be bored as that actually sounds like an exciting and pretty simple challenge. Skizzer, wuvvum, BorniteIdentity and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel off and peeling the front of the arch liner back should do it, although I can't now remember if the undertray (if you've still got it on) causes issues... The last time I stared a lag2 washer bottle in the face I'd taken the front bumper off to liberate parts for someone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be bored as that actually sounds like an exciting and pretty simple challenge. It wouldn't surprise me if the washer pump is the same as the Citroen C5 or the same principal (because French). As you can see on my awful diagram, the way the motor sprays F or R is by switching the polarity of the motor which forces a shuttle to block the opposing outlet in the outlet of the pump forcing the water to the right screen. The one on the C5 comes apart and was just clogged with grit after I ignored the low washer level warning for too long. It blocked up only letting water out the Rear window when you tried washing the front. Googling the Laguna pump has a photo of one with PSA and Renualt markings. Probably the same and worth a strip and see if it'll clean up. I used a small bit of washing up liquid when rebuilding it and it's been fine ever since.
