Oh yeh lol! And that hehe. The new engine had done less miles than the car has too. Can't remember the exact mileage of the engine but it was less!

Also car doesn't smoke at all (unless your dopy like me and try to start it without deactivating the immobiliser! In which case when you realise your mistake and try to start it the second time, you get a bit of white smoke from the extra fuel pumped in!) The car also has a towbay with a single elec...

Hi guys, Haven't been on here for a bit but the 406 is still driving along, as reliable as ever! I have in fact come to a point where I'm ready to sell it. Living in crowded streets at uni now so need something smaller and easier to park! Will miss the 50MPG though! Nasically in good condition. Not ...

I guess it would fit... not certain! How much you after for it? If it's not too much I would take the risk!


Cheers,

Name says it all really. Doesn't matter which TD engine as they are all the same. Mine gave up last night and just makes an awful ticking!!!!

Sometimes my car does this too but normally only when warm. First start of the day is straight away and if I drive abit stop for 10 mins and then start again, intermittantly it takes aout 5 turns to start as opposed to the normal two. I have new plugs ect but I reckon mine is fuel related as I get a...

Oh and forgot to say, to test fast speed fan just unplug the brown sensor with the engine running. The circuit go's into emergency mode and turns the fan on fast.

2/3 sensors? I thought it only got temp from the brown sensor on top of the thermostat housing? I know that this is the only temp sensor wired into the bitron control unit on the 1.9td as I examined teh wiring thoroughly before. Heres a link for the wiring diagrams.... http://www.peugeotlogic.com/wo...

The Fans both run at half speed or both run at full speed and should never run on their own. The slow speed happens at 97C or when air con is on. The fast speed should happen at 107C, When the temp (bitron) sensor is unplugged/faulty or the air con pressure becomes too high. If your only one fan is ...

It's all to do with momentum. Even if a car with a snorkel gets stuck submerged, it will normally be a bad thing. The idea is that you keep moving through the water which creates a bow wave meaning that the water level inside the engine bay is lower than the water level outside the car. If you stop ...

Never touched a drum brake in my life lol. All my volvos had discs! Rob 480 rear discs an be a right bugger to change though as the calipers are always bloody seized :lol: drums are pretty simple, two words of advice, use the haynes manual and take both drums off, but dismantle one side at a time s...

Oil and water seem fine. 90 Is what my car now seems to stay on most of the time for water and 110C for oil is a little hotter than my old petrol volvo used to get in normal use but that would reach 115C if I was gunning it so that sounds fine too.

I Love my turbo whistle. Flooring it up the dual carriageway today with the windows down and radio off....ahhh pure bliss!

I just got some Comma 75/80 for the grand cost of £2.40 +VAT a litre! My local parts place have started "accidentally" not putting VAT on too as I have bought SO much stuff there while doing my engine swap I have become very friendly with the desk staff!
