i have a 406 hdi lx 110 2000 (w) and i would of thought that it would of gave me a read out of how heavy my foot was in the way of mpg and which stalk would have a button on if that is how you change the display or is this a added extra on pugs ? I believe it was not an optional extra. The right st...

The button on the light stalk is auto headlamps (totally useless here as I have to have them on all the time anyway :roll: and it makes the computer display too dark to read in bright daylight stupid bluddy rule aid to invisibility but at least it means the feckers here don't drive about with no li...

Whey hey. :P Not mentioning the one I heard about Quality Street at Christmas. :oops: Is this the jokes corner...... New taxi driver in an Hackney Carriage. He takes on a passenger and has his back window open ready for the cash. The passenger taps on his should telling him to stop. The driver floor...

Have a look at your pollen filter.

congrats on doing the work yourself jaq,now work out what it cost and how long it took (dont forget the garage have all the stuff so would be quicker) then compare it to the price you were quoted to see if they were ripping you off as i suspect they were !! well done you :) Certainly a rip-off. An ...

A pair of mold (however it's officially spelt) grips for me.


Never had to buy one, but I hear sump bolts are very cheap at the breakers.

Another alternative, but it could be from a leak on the EGR valve (if fitted). If it's exhaust gases you should see (if you can) soot around the joints but not see the smoke due to pressure. If it's the header you might see smoke around that area. If it's injectors there is a possibility of some liq...

One thing this reminds me of is the pump for coolant removal with no air locks. I was going to buy one of those coolant pumps for my troublesome 405 1.7td and my brother pointed out the effect it could have on the seals and the after effect of negative force as opposed to the force they have become ...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I should have pointed out I bought my 406 just over a year ago after a lot of research including asking my brother (he's a quality self-employed mechanic) and only found this forum a few days ago. The 406 has been excellent. Apart from servicing I've only had to buy a ne...

So, this is the Friday the 13th. Who is superstitious? Was he on X Factor?

Not for me, prefer Christmas and the drunks on the roads. It's an easier insurance claim (provided they're insured) and easier than spelling superstitious.

Soon to be on UK forecourts........







Just as a side note... a friend of mine lives in Bahrain (another oil producing country) and they're currently paying the equivalent of 24p per litre.

Back in April some w**ker ran into the back of me and drove off! I got his reg and informed police and notified my insurance, I told the insurance for the time being not to process a claim as in the long term I may be better off paying the £600 repair bill myself when taking into account my excess ...

Protesting about donkey tax, I can just see that one.

Hi, I took a punt on Ebay for no more than £150. They were called Tandem Tuning and had good feedback. I should say, I decided to go for a TB so I could either keep it or sell it on with the car. I'm glad I did, because I saved on a remap, which I would've had done if the TB hadn't worked, but as I ...

Regarding your vibration, I would look at your bottom engine mounting. The oily leak could be from the cam cover gasket. I doubt it is a boost leak because you should hear either a whistle, or a throated sound if the hole is large enough. If it is a fault with the gasket, you may be best to apply so...
