Finished the Twingo today...mot Monday at 11am.
The 406 is proving difficult to fix...going back to Yorkshire with a new fuel pressure sensor...if that doesn't fix it then it will be terminal as I've run out of patience with it.

Re: Non-406 1.6 TU series engine problem
Well done with the Twingo John.
'Our' 307 is going well, original engine had a shredded cambelt in the end.
Fingers crossed for the HPi, be a shame to lose such a striking example.
Have you considered turning it into an 'ordinary' 2.0 petrol?

Thanks, glad the 307 is doing well

Good news on the HPi


Engine light is out after clearing all codes and getting a repeat of the map sensor fault code...cleared the map sensor code again and it stayed out.
The ECU fault has disappeared now too!
Big question now is what do I do with the car? I now have 3 cars, including the 508, Twingo, and the 406 HPi Estate!

Good work on the 406, I fear it won't be 'valued' enough to get a decent price selling it as no-one understands what it is?
The Twingo should sell quickly I think, how do you like the high seating position?

Cars in my care:
2005 Volvo S40 T5 a bit pampered, now lacking boostage, under investigation
2010 Citroen C4 1.6 HDi turbo de' explosions, injured leg but now recovering from shock
2010 Renner Twingo refreshingly simple, now with fresh MOT, no advisories

Good result with the 406.
As Welly says, it may be difficult to sell even though there can't be may left now.
