I have found somone who deals in scrap pegs in Morpeth, not too far away, I am just trying towork out when i can get the time to strip the engine side off and set the timing up with a nw timing belt. and i bet the injectors are gone as well.

Found one on ebay but I cant guarentee its good, I also know the local scrappy is scrapping a 406 but most scrapyards wont allow for parts to be removed from the timing belt config it makes it hard for them to sell the engine on. infact many local scrapyards wont even alow you to remove the altnator...

I stalled and found a lack in power the other day. the lights all came on and the diagnostics said Fuel pump relay fault. so I reset the ECU and it was fine. till yesterday when the diagnosics said High pressure sensor problem. I lifted the bonnet and reved the engine, and the pump started to make a...

if its when you put power on in a corner it is normally cluck cluck cluck of the CV Joint not too much to replace cost wise just need a big mate to pull the drive shaft out and pull the suspension away from the car. normally. or get a garage to do it. just make sure you get the front and rear tracki...

Okay Managed to source a Cheap MAF from My Local Gear box Auto Parts for around the £45 car ran lovley and now the engine ECU light came one for a different reason. LOL The Throtle Postition Sensor faulty. and then the speedo went off after I serviced it. LOL I am having loads of luck with this car....

By the looks of it I have to remove the rear Bearings and replace them, does anyone know the...

Hiya Thanks for all your help. but problems still there.... Sort off. I have checked the turbo wistle. yes you can hear it when the car is running fine... also it works until the revs reach 2800 rpm then it shuts down. and the car will rev no more. the fault of P0380 is there all the time and I am n...

Top Strut bearing, Mines just gone HDI T Reg, 99 110 Estate, Clunk when your driving at sortof random times, there about £30 from a Motor trade place or yhou can get one from the scrappy. Its the bit on the top under the metal bit with 3 bolts that mounts the top of the suspension and alows it to tu...

This might explain my 3000 RPM fault. its random but suddenly the cars refuses to rev over 3000 RPM then its fine a min or so later. will do it about once every 100 miles or so. maybe 3 times per day max.

You have a few faults that can cause knocking on 406 cars. knocking while moving on full lock is normally a CV joint. not too hard to do the knock is the bearings clicking in the housing. only about £30-50 from a motor factor. a loud clunk at full lock that happens when your stationary then happens ...

Well just to update. Cleaned the egr valve as much as poss. replaced the selnoid for the egr and no different so changed it back and put the selnoid onto the turbo istead. turbo now working better. eg before it used to boost most of the time but not always. under normal driving... I also filled the ...

Well Just an update. The cars Sortof working, I am going to have to bung it on a scope to find the main fault. Speed is better, after cleaning the EGR Valve and testing it it seems fine just its well clogged. I have changed the selnoid with a new one, and have been reliably ??? informed by the mecha...

I have just had a look and I think the EGR Valve is the one near the bulk head where the two selnoid things are its spitting oil out when you rev high from inside the pin under the valve. turbo seems to be fine. throttle being drive by wire has at some point be rewired it seems to be reacting fine, ...

Thanks for that I already have new glow plugs so I may as well fit them. "The clutch actuator/brake switch sounds like it's do do with cruise control - you have to tell the code reading equip that it hasn't got cruise otherwise it will look for it and find faults that aren't applicable." I dont have...
