New PSA Heritage Parts for Classic Cars

by GiveMeABreak » 11 Oct 2019, 16:18 » in Citroën

First post

Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Lucas EPIC pump harness

by briansib » 27 Nov 2019, 10:53

First post

Hi all,

i have just bought a great used engine from a Citroen Xantia to replace a dead one on my 406. its a diesel one with a Lucas EPIC pump, still great condition.

Problem is the pump harness that connects pump to loom, its got burnt wires i cant figure out the colours anymore, but i managed to separate and rewire, as i couldnt find pump...

Last post

The code isn't stored inside the pump, it will the pump ecu. I've changed my pump on the 406 for one off a xantia and it went straight on. My 406 didn't have a keypad but the xantia did. You can still buy the loom. It comes with the plug, but they are 200 euros. When I recabled mine following a complete rebuild due to a poor tickover and leaks, I...

Still keeping my VAG stuff for old-time's sake, but since buying a 205 SI a few years ago and realising what a great car it is, a 205 DTurbo followed and then a BX19 TGD auto was procured to use in England when I'm over there...

Some aspects of the forum are part of an initiative test to prepare you for getting the hang of a Xantia V6 :wink:

Chris, interesting you suggest they're great daily drivers, as I thought the general view was that Xantias weren't - although that's not my view, after the 1st year of ownership.

Hello from Milton Keynes

Hi all,

Just joined the forum as I'm viewing a 2009 Citroen Dispatch Campervan on Saturday with the 1.6hdi engine.

Any thoughts on things to check other than the usual second hand checks?

Cheers

I had a Peugeot Partner van with a 1.6HDi engine when I was with a different employer. When she was serviced the mechanic used to jack up the nearside front wheel as high as possible to get as much oil as he could from out of the sump. That wheel was easily 6 off the ground, and probably a lot more.

Hola, from Malaga

by MarcusMcGuinness » 22 May 2019, 10:14

Hi there,
I live in a small village 40 minutes away from Málaga city, and own a 1994 Citroen ZX 1.9TD Volcane and a 1999 Peugeot Partner 1.9D. Both cars are pretty knackered (although the zx is still a beauty) and can't be worth much more than 500 euros between them, so I've started doing any maintainance and repair work myself. I have already...

Thanks, Chris.
I know where you are. We're west of Málaga in Alhaurin El Grande. Not as unspoilt as your neck of the woods but still great to live here!

Renault Megane 1.5dci

by bill hughes » 16 May 2019, 20:14

First post

Hi all I am considering a Renault Megane 1.5dci to replace my 1998 1.4 Megane which has been a very reliable car for 8 years, I dont know much about the 1.5 diesel engine and was wondering if anyone on the forum could give me any advice, I'm looking at a 2011/12/13 car many thanks any advice appreciated.

Last post

Hi Steve ? thanks for your reply, having since researched the 1.5 dci engine it appears that it has had a lot of issues so I think I will stick to the petrol engines but upgrade from 1.4 1.6 as the only negative about my megane is that it is a bit underpowered thanks for your input Bill.

Chris, I thought that beast would go everywhere. However, when moving it around my son's blacksmith workshop, I got onto the meadowy - peaty area around the shop which was soaked. Got about 30 feet, then I was stuck completely. Turned out that with faulty breaks, my front wheels did not engage and got stuck. The back wheels alone could not push...

So after owning a 306, 406 and my current 407 I’ve gone and bought a berlingo camper with 2.0 hdi engine. It’s a Nu Venture Surf, 2 berth with a bog n cooker & sink + blown air heating.
I finally bit the bullet after being a member of other forums, but it seems most of my searches direct me to posts on this forum. So here I am.
I do most work...

Hi

I thought i’d Say hello, I’m Damian, 32 years old & love messing with cars. I’ve recently bought a broken C2 1.4i furio Sensodrive for £120. It’s currently got a broken actuator so i’ll Be posting in the tech section soon, I’ve actually bought it as a project car & will be doing all the work myself as I turbo it.

Anyway that’s it for now!

Last post

If you don't mind a suggestion, get the problem fixed (if it is not too expensive), and then get rid of the car. There are tales (on this forum) about the problems that can occur with the Sensodrive system that are somewhat expensive. daviemck2006 is just one example I can think of;

Hello all. I have just moved house, and extra garage space means that my 2005 MX5 can finally be retired from daily driving duty and become a rare sunny day treat.

It’s only worth £1500 or so but I love it, and recently spent £3400 on rust and bodywork, so I won’t be getting rid of it.

I have one young child and another on the way. Doing the...
