Hello 1st time 406 owner

[ajax2061]

Hello brought a 406 2002 hdi 110 last month and wanted to ask a question

The lights and indicator stalk is really lose so looked on ebay for a replacement but there seam's yo be a few different types, is there anyway to know which type to get without taking the steering wheel off ?

Hi there. I'm afraid on a 2002 that's probably going to be com2000

taking the steering wheel off

I think you figured that one out already.

6242 30 VALEO - W/O REAR SCREEN WASH WIPE AND WITHOUT ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM
6242 H6 DELPHI - W/O REAR SCREEN WASH WIPE AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM
6242 C2 DELPHI - REAR SCREEN WIPER AND WITHOUT ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM
6242 C6 DELPHI - REAR SCREEN WIPER AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM

It can be an expensive fix, and other second hand Comms will be in similar condition.
As Steve says above, despite numerous arguments over part numbers, I think there are only 6 variations of Comms unit - as long as the functions are the same ( front fogs, rear wiper, auto lights etc ) then it should be okay to swap. It also needs to be a Comms 2000 - not a later model.
It's relatively straightforward, but can be tricky first time.

Alternatively, if you don't need the car for a while, it can be removed and sent to a guy called Graham Hall for repair - costs about £40.
He can be found on eBay ( has a mobile number as his user name ) on Facebook, or on Peugeotforum as user 'trustme'

Hope this helps.

Would have to take wheel off then as can not do without the car due to disability, bad enough to have to use a stick not bad enough to get full mobility

[dirtydirtydiesel]

Yes the wheel has to come off.

Alternatively you can drive your car to Graham, he does a while you wait service

If your paying a garage to fit a new com's unit, probably going to be north of £300.00 fitted

If you are local to Bournemouth I'm happy to have a look at it for you..
In the meantime you can shove a dishwashing sponge into the cowling around the stalk to keep it from flopping around....

Thanks for the info

Will order one and as long as it not been changed should be all good

Does anybody know how to convert between the XXXX.YY ServiceBox numbers and the actual part numbers (which are the long numbers that begin with a 9)?

[steve_earwig]

This is between the actual manufacturer's part numbers and the ones Pug uses? A lot of suppliers will list both codes (and the same parts other manufacturers use e.g. Fiat)
