I've just been cleaning up a V6 subframe for my parts stash, and notice it's stamped with both the lion and the Talbot logo side by side - but no chevrons.

Sure this part wasn't used on the Tagora, since that was RWD north-south layout. So - I wonder what they were thinking?

I am puzzled.

The Mi16 has a Jaeger pressure sender that appears very factory (by amount of grime around it).

There is no pressure gauge on the instrument panel for any Series 1 405 model. Also there appears to be taped inside the wiring harness, a spade connector for this sender.

Did the 309 with this same engine, have an oil pressure gauge?...

Last post

Is the sender a fattish white cylinder with one terminal on it Adam?

If so then yes, that'll be the factory sender. Also, the more sporting 309s were fitted with the 205GTi instruments which included an oil pressure gauge so yes.

Never knew of an RHD Mi16 309 although one was available in LHD. All we right-hookers had was the 1.9 GTi, a...

White Van Man did this, running a red light. :cry:

I think it will be a total loss per the insurers, so the Xantia wagon might have a junior stablemate (I'm eyeing up an '00 2.0 5 speed in matching appliance white).

Some questions - would an N5 Xsara be multiplexed (hoping not)? Thinking about fitting a Xantia cruise unit. Also - are they...

Hey Guys,

Appreciate that this isn't really a moped or motorcycle forum but I know that everyone here seems to be into all sorts of different things so I thought I'd ask anyway!

I've recently bought a 1965 Raleigh RM6 moped. Mainly because I want the number plate from it. The plate starts DRH and my initials are DRH.

This thing is basically no...

I very rarely buy car magazines, or infact any other magazine for that matter.

I was sent this link last night, it looks quite handy.

You enter your registration number and it comes back with the VIN and several other details (fewer details for older cars). Useful for when you need to order something and it's not convenient either to look for the V5 or look at the car.
