Here's a pic of the new "flanges" on the nearside I've had to create to replace what was "de-laminated rust": 20231024_170237_copy_464x825.jpg You should also be see the new piece I've welded in the front panel. That will eventually be attached to the patch that is going into the valance soon. And t...

So lots of playing with cardboard and scissors over the past couple of weeks ... I'm re-building what should be some "box" sections behind the front panel and join that to the inner engine bay panel, inner wings and wheel arches/tubs. The reason? They don't make these bits and most of the A35's have...

If this is anything like the Renault dCi engine the AA diagnosed our Clio with a high pressure fuel pump issue. My Sealey diag actually said it was the Glow Plug Relay .. changed that, same issue. That actually turned out to be a dead glow plug (actually two!) but I could only diagnose it with the o...

I remember when my 206s airbag light came on. It was traced to the steering column (forgot the correct term for the electronics). Popped into my local Peugeot dealer who sold me one for around £30. Got it home, removed the steering wheel and it was the wrong part. Took it back next day and the corre...

That dash is very similar to the 206 dash esp the higher end CCs (apart from the low rev counter max!) My daughter had a 2.0l CC and hat was a pain to read the dash with the roof down as well. Luckily it was never taken across the Channel so the Km/h markers weren't needed. Peugeot electrics do have...

What sort of mask are you using? I can strongly recommend a photo-reactive one (not sure what the correct term is) that darkens ONLY when the arc is happening, before and after striking the arc it's pretty clear. I wear my glasses under mine to improve sight & focus. It also helps to shine a good l...

... what idiot designed that?? ...

Probably the same idiot that put the engine so far to the left that to change a cam belt costs you layers of skin and pints of valuable red stuff!!

So today was spent "linishing" .. basically taking off the c@rp welding and smoothing them.
