New to 406's but not to Peugeot

[D4B]

Hi All,

Just bought myself a 2002 406 Estate Hdi 110......

I wondered why there was a piece of foam under the indicator switch ~ so after trawling this fantastic forum I am preparing myself for a new COM2000

Lol

It will have to wait though as first it needs a new blipper key

Oh and the horn is intermittent so perhaps I will deal with that when I doo the COM2000.

No such problems on my other Peugeot ~ 1961 D4B van LHD..... Pics will follow when I have enough posts no doubt.

Cheers Steve

Hi Steve, you only need another post approved and you can post your pics (we love pics )

On the com2000 did you see this? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20855&hilit=com2000 ... 05#p209504

Welcome on in Steve Resistance is futile
Oh & the horn problem is probably tarnishing on the contacts, easy fix with some autosol & some dialectric grease / petrolium jelly to stop it happening again

Hi Steve & welcome aboard.

You can get the COM2000 fixed pretty cheaply.

Both of my 406's have needed a fairly firm press to activate the horn, DDD is no doubt right that you can improve it, (I'll try it myself if I ever have the airbag out again).
For now, you'll probably find a good shove on the airbag, above any of the 4 spokes will do the trick.

Thanks Steve ~ noted

Thanks for the welcome, I hope to investigate this horn problem myself following advice from here, but first can someone kindly give me a
link to the most relevant links to safely remove the airbag and also how to first disconnect the battery without messing up any electronics / codes etc?

Advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks again
Steve

Promised you a pic of my D4B so here it is:

a pic

Which links through to your photobucket album with lots and lots of interesting pics of your bus I've just looked through the whole lot - that was amazing! It rather looks like it's taken over your life. Are there any words to go with the pictures? That is, did you tell the story on a forum somewhere?

[D4B]

Hi Steve,

Yes of course there is a very long story with it.... all because I won an ebay auction which I probably shouldn't have been bidding in.
You are very welcome to read it all here:

Oh wow, I've just looked at your Van thread above, that thing is beautiful I love it's honesty and charm.

Looks like you had a good bit of luck sourcing some of the bits and the quality of those repair panels is spot-on well done!

Thanks for sharing that, it has made my day already

[D4B]

Hi Welly,

Glad you enjoyed it, sadly I had to sell the D4B last July, gone but certainly not forgotten.

Cheers Steve
