According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

As you may be aware, the consolidation of the old PSA to the Stellantis Group systems has resulted in both a merge of data tools and a requirement to migrate PSA accounts to Stellantis Systems.

Hey, do you remember me reporting back to you after collecting the Actia Diag2000 I won on ebay and we found it was missing the all-important connectors and all the consequent faffing around getting the pinouts so I could make my own?

Well I just stumbled across this pic of storage I never knew existed

and guess what I found in mine? #-o

Last post

These are the four new additions I found. Two have 16-pin OBD connector. Of those two, one is just an extension (you can plug it into itself) and the other has small round connector (like the one that plugs the harness tester into the bottom of the Diag2000) only smaller and presumably less pins.

When repairing an inner wing in the UK, are you allowed by insurers to short cut it?

I mean, butt weld a forward section rather than go back to wherever the spots are (presuming the spotwelds are not that close)? That is assuming it's not a high strength alloy pressing, of course. Like, on a Xantia, if you cut the inner wing vertically in line...

Last post

Interesting conclusion to this one.

I consulted the Thatcham's guide for the car in question, and it condones a shortcutting repair, very clearly describing a MIG constant seam weld to join a repair section cut from the factory serviced larger panel. For this situation, it saves a whole lot of grief including dash and outer A pillar removal....

Strange encounter with a stick driving at night...

So I was driving my 206 along the A120 near Harwich this evening when I heard a loud clunk and suddenly the car pulled to one side, I was getting a hell of a lot of strange grinding and wheezing noises from the car and the handbrake seemed to be engaged. I drove into a layby and the handbrake lever would barely move, the brake pedal had become...

Hello old friends (and new)

It's been awhile since I last graced this forum with my presence :P (though the loss is mostly mine, of course :) )

One, though not the main, reason for my absence is down to declining health and fitness, making spanner-spinning often too tortorous to comtemplate, restricting my DIY activities to light, fluid and tyre...

Last post

Hi Steve and Jim :)

The C5 seemed the natural progression from the Xantia and is coming into my price range. I have test-driven more C4's though as these seem the most popular. I've not considered anything smaller for a number of reasons (loading space mostly) but on the advice, I'll see if I can get a test drive.
