Just thought i'd let you all know i would be getting the pug, as the sparky found out it needed a part that wasn't economically viable for the dealer to fit. They tried to palm me off with a Hyundai Elentra, but one quick look at that & i turned my nose up..... what a pile of crap that was... 1 year...

They're not asking for any more cash, i'd have told them to get stuffed if that was the case. I'm ex trade myself, so know how they work :roll: UPDATE... Just off the phone with the branch manager & they've got an autosparky coming in to check it out tomorrow. If he can't sort it or it's gonna be to...

Well, i was meant to take deliver of my 02 plate 406 executive last friday, but i still ain't got it :x Firstly, the muppets didn't put the car through the workshop for a service etc til thursday afternoon, with the valeter giving it a good clean on friday morning for me to collect at lunchtime.

Also, what's the best oil & plugs for this engine ?

The pedal return spring is only there to bring the pedal back to the same height every time it's released.

I'd def start with the slave cylinder & take it from there & i can't see it being the master cylinder seal as you would be loosing fluid

Huh, don't talk to me about Peugeot clutch cables :twisted: I had a 309 years ago that had an appetite for cables, to the tune of 2 per month. Thinking it was a pressure plate problem, i changed the whole clutch assy, but it never cured it strangely :frown: Sold the car on soon after to some nice ch...
