Forum hanging when posting

First post

As we have all noticed, the forum software has for some time had a tendency to hang, sometimes causing a Cloudflare timeout, leading to duplicate posts. I investigated this a month or so ago, but did not reach any definitive conclusion about the cause, although my main suspect is the we server package.

Early today I rolled back that package to an...

Car is 1996 306 TD Spinnaker with 52,000 miles. The airbag warning light flashes for about 4 minutes then stays on every time. When I got the car it used to be intermittent, but now it is every time the car is started.
I believe this is usually the airbag trigger wire under the driver seat needing new connectors.
Is this something I can do myself...

405 GTD water in diesel warning light

by JohnD » 28 Oct 2002, 23:56

Hi CJB - You do indeed have to undo something to drain off any water in the fuel filter. The drain screw which needs to be opened is right at the bottom of the filter housing. It's in such a position that it's difficult to get to, and I usually remove the entire filter housing, clean it out and replace the filter. To remove the housing, you need...

Not being a mechanic can anyone please advise how I drain the water. Do I have to undo something to start with etc etc
Thanks in anticipation

205 TD No Heating

Hope they didn't damage the pipework when they did this, get one stuck in, work at it methodicaly and make notes if necessary, wont be much fun without the ability to demist or even keep frost off the screen, not to mention keeping your toes warm

A friend has just bought a G reg. 205TD. The heating doesn't work, and the local mechanic says the heater matrix has been disconnected.
Can anyone offer some advice. It might cost £200-500 to replace.
We don't know why is has been disconnected, but must assume its because of a leak.

low compression

by Dave Burns » 21 Oct 2002, 04:27

First post

I'd say you are looking at valve trouble there, either not having the correct clearance, a poor match with the seat or just plain burnt, sounds like to much pressure going west to be a head gasket, and if it were you should know about it with that much pressure loss me thinks.

Rear Wiper/Washer 205GLD H reg.

by Dave Burns » 20 Oct 2002, 23:28

First post

The seals wear out in the pump and allow water to get into the motor, as a result it rusts up solid, it also leaks water out and sends the boot floor rusty, it did on my 205 so I blocked the hole where the pump fits and fitted a different type of pump higher up.
The wiper could have a broken wire where it bends as the tailgate opens, check the...

Can anyone help me with the above. Both have never worked in the four years I've had the car. Is there a relay, or something I might replace? Isn't strange that both don't work?
I would appreciate any comments.

405 GTD Turbo read brake caliper reseal kits

by RoadkillUK » 20 Oct 2002, 22:02

I'm looking for a reseal kit for my 405, I've just purchased it and the rear brakes are sticking on. After taking a look at them it seems that a previous owner had decided that there is no need for the rubber that protects the piston. The piston looks OK but I need new rubbers for them.
So the question is, where do I get these reseal kits from?...

306 DTurbo

by JohnD » 20 Oct 2002, 21:58

First post

Diesels do tend to be clattery on start up but if yours is noisier than it should be, it's probably due to the lack of oil in the tappets. For a start, make sure you have a good quality oil filter fitted. Some of them don't have a non=return valve in them. Most fuel gauges are not very accurate. From a brim full tank I generally cover 100 miles or...

Hello yet again,

306 tdi poor starting

by pug406glx » 18 Oct 2002, 13:58

First post

In addition to replacing the glow plugs, have you tested/replaced the glow plug relay? This may not be heating the plugs for long enough. This can be tested by warming the plugs 2 or 3 times before cranking the engine. If it starts better by doing that, then the problem definitely lies in the glow plug system.

Last post

Since the start of the cold weather my 306 is becoming reluctant to start in the cold mornings, rather like its driver! The car requires at least 3 cycles with blue smoke emmitting from the exhaust when the car does eventually spring into life. I assume the blue smoke indicates injector wear. I have changed the heater plugs and checked the fuel...

Hope you have taken a picture of the pot hole and are going to claim for the repairs from the local authority.
Not wise to drive it any further until the damage has been put right, not familiar with the model so can't offer any other advice.
Good luck

The most trouble people seem to have doing this is getting the hub nut off, its a big bugger and it will be very tight.
If its a staked on nut you need a new one to go back on, if its got a pin through it, it goes back on, you need a torque wrench with a suitable (high) capacity.
The gearbox oil needs draining, so fresh oil required there, check...

Just a short note to ask just how difficult it is to replace the driveshafts on my 205 Diesel? I don't know whether it is a do it yourself on the street job or a oh my god, just give it to your mechanic and be done with it job . I see on the AndySpares online shop the driveshafts are £48 each, so that plus labour would add up!
