xtriple Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Anyone know of a person/company that could repair the rev counter on the dollop? It's started wandering a bit and jumping a few hundred rpm on occassions. It's all electronic on the sod and called : 'The Driver Information Panel' and to get repaired is, of course, effin' expensive (think £600 plus).
3VOM Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Peugeot of last resort just passed MOT but one of the advisories is the state of the fuel tank strap. Sounds like the sort of simple job that even I could do or is it a right pain that it is much better to pay someone else to struggle with? Its a W plate 206 with 51k miles so worth keeping.Done this and it was straightforward so long as the bolts aren't rusted up. Two bolts, diagonal strap part was about £10-£15. Obviously prop the tank up while doing it. DSdriver 1
twosmoke300 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 206 tank strap is easy but the front of the strap has little tabs that fold around the seam of the tank . They are to hold the strap to the tank when they install in the factory I assume . The problem is is that there isn’t quite enough room to slide the strap forward to clear the tank . A bit of wiggle jiggle and bending is reqd DSdriver 1
dave21478 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Im going to need an in-line electric fuel pump for the Panda engine swap. There are many and various for sale on ebay, but I have a pierberg one sitting in the garage, although it was off a td4 Freelander. Will a diesel pump cope with pumping petrol? Will it turn into a flame thrower? will it miss the lubrication of diesel? Looking at the ebay stuff, its all over the place, some adverts say pez, some say dizz, some say both.....
bub2006 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I guess I’m too late to be useful, sorry, but it was the Nant-y-Moch Reservoir: https://goo.gl/maps/R81YBAxQgTvThanks. I think that's the road but certainly not the same reservoir!
bigfella2 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I replaced a rusted fuel tank strap in my '96 Laguna for its MOT back in 2014 using a strip of drilled galvanised steel, cut with a hacksaw and bent to size before refitting using new fasteners and some rubber pads. It was one of the more straightforward jobs I've carried out on that car. Three MOTs later, still sound and no issues. Galvanised Steel Strap.png Cost: about a fiver.That's a building restraint strap, if anyone needs to buy one. Datsuncog 1
Dippy Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 HID MOT fail after May unless full headlight unit fitted.Sent from my Redmi 4 using TapatalkAs per last mot I swopped back to standard bulbs as it only takes 10 minutes then put hids back after. A minor problem and at least you can see in the dark.
robinmasters Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I want to fit a retro car phone to my Safrane 1993/94 I would rather not have to drill holes for phone holders and only want it for appearance,what would be a period phone to buy?,I like the look of the brick style car phones but I think they might be more 1980s? Renault have had a connection with Philips over the past years so maybe a Philips car phone.... I have an original Renault portable TV in the back so a nice retro phone would be a good match.

Full list of models and release dates on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nokia_products If you don't want to damage trim, Brodit still list a Safrane mount - special order though, and not cheap for a small bracket.
Guest Hooli Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 LED replacements are better than HID in my experience.

It will be a high pressure one for fuel injection but what one to go for I have no idea.
dave21478 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 The cinq has an in-tank pump and I dont want to get into trying to modify the Panda tank to take it, hence needing an in-line thing, I found the spec for the cinq pump is min 110litres/hour and 1.1bar pressure. Everything I have seen for sale seems to be 3 bar pressure....Im guessing this is max rating? there is a pressure regulator and return line to the tank so too much shouldnt be a problem as long as its not so much that its at risk of popping off the clamps etc.

SiC Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I wouldn't use a pump that's only rated for diesel. There is a lot of aftermarket pumps and adjustable fuel pressure regulator kits available for classic cars. Both for feeding carbs and aftermarket injection conversions.

Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk All I can tell ya is when I've had both fitted to the bike they've gone through MOTs ok. LEDs seem to give a better beam pattern to me and don't appear to run as hot which is handy with the lack of space in a bike's headlight. SierraMikeHotel 1
SiC Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Even the expensive Philips aftermarket LED bulbs are not E-marked, so don't meet construction regs and hence not legal for road use. Nicola H 1

Absolutely anything would be an improvement on the pathetic item on the front of my Honda moped so I may look into it. Straight swaps, or any wiring improvements required?

Straight swaps, or any wiring improvements required? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Straight swap, plugs direct into the loom. The ones I've got look longer as the ballast is built into the back of the unit, but they aren't actually any longer than a H4 with the multiplug attached so still fit in the headlamp bowl. Strange whirring sound off them until you start the engine to drown it from the cooling fan. I did wonder what was broke the first time I turned it on. SierraMikeHotel 1

The Moog Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Is there an easy way to tell the difference between an 1.9 and 2.1 Xud engine?
DSdriver Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 There is usually a badge on the back of the donor vehicle
The Moog Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 There is usually a badge on the back of the donor vehicle Cheers... Hadn't thought of that No badge available as is just an engine. Was hoping there was something visible on outside.
bub2006 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 There's nothing different on the outside of the pug
bub2006 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 The 2.1 engine looks different to the 1.9 though. Under bonnet of Peugeot it says 2.1 12v on inlet.

bub2006 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 That would make a great van engine transplant!
