I think this will do the job.   Playing around with my 50mm lens, got this one on a half second exposure.   Big thanks to Sandy Colin and Dave. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

They're 90's but I may well be changing them as the bodies are TH's so only 91mm long, not TB's that are 118mm.Probably a good thing and I should have thought more about it, but Sandy has better results with a straighter trumpet, though on far higher spec than mine in general. Need to make up a backplate now, I begrudge shelling out £60 for a stepped backplate that's just a piece of vacuum formed plastic, a mate might get some made by his dad mind   Though if I get some trumpets from Colin I could use a standard flat one bolted to the rear of the trumpet rather than the body. Not a fancy camera Elliot, just an EOS 300D, cost me £100, lens cost quite a bit more but its just a borrowed one! I don't use it enough tbh. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I dun stuff!as I need to get it in the garage to jack it up properly and do the welding, and that is up a fair slope I thought I;d see about making it drive, so stuck the radiator in, spent an hour hunting fruitlessly for the bottom hose wire clip, bolted the inlet manifold on. Emptied 15 litres of fuel from the fuel tank that's been sat in the back garden a few months! bolted the tank on, then got the exhaust hung and clamped up. tank on (only 3 from 4 fixings, 4th is in o/s sill right by the rust and has a snapped bolt) -  Exhaust on, not a bad job apart from faffing with the downpipe to manifold, only the rear box has hangers, though does have three, so fit the centre loosely to the rear and hang the rear up, offer the centre up to the cat and pull together and clamp up, I'm using genuine peugeot/citroen single piece clamps.  wire brushed the tailpipe : yeah, the box looks crusty, and has a little condensation inside, but doesn't rattle... ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

No idea tbh! Depends how long it takes to get the hang of bodywork welding, not something I have great confidence in but have done a fair bit of rotten ford transit welding and Trucks, probably still a few more months as I have the insurance coming up next month on the 205. The exhaust may not be staying, I have a Scorpion 306 system in the shed that may get modified to fit... At the moment its actually only needing a splash of fuel in the tank, some coolant and a battery! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Have you got it jacked up under the floor pan or is it the angle of the photograph? |

half way down the sill, there's a third jacking point, see first pic, the small jack was supporting the exhaust as I was bolting it together  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Bunged a battery on, Radio still works  Filled the engine with water, left the bleed points open so it doesn't build pressure as I haven't got hold of a clip for the top hose yet. Fitted a lambda sensor, removed the coils and plugs, spun over and got 2 bar oil pressure on the dash. Plugs back in and cranked it, but wouldn't fire, couldn't hear the fuel pump going, primed the pump with a power probe and swapped the fuel pump relay, it fired up and swung straight up to 4k rpm and a great load of hissing! Obviously quite an air leak, resonator intact, inlet bolted down securely on a PhillipM PTFE gasket, so the only thing left was the idle valve and sure enough it was stuck, I had a spare thankfully  There's an ABS sensor unplugged on the drivers side, and no aux belt as I haven't got any PAS fluid yet. A good day, the engine hasn't run in 18 months, very happy with how it sounds ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yeah, quite an invaluable tool really, and if you can stretch to a 3 then go for it, I only have a 2 but have used a mates 3.Next is to get some PAS fluid, track rods, tidy up the nuts bolts and tools in the garage, then get the car in and the tank back off. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Google it!! Mine is a power probe 2, you'll get them for less than £20 on ebay, its a basic pointy thing that tells you if a wire you poke is positive or earth, and has a switch so you can feed live or earth something. A PP3 has lights, a buzzer, voltage display, extension leads if you happen to be working on a larger vehicle, probably lots more too, they're about £100. Today, I bought PAS fluid and an AUX belt, dug out some track rod ends form the shed, fitted the radiator hose clip and radiator securing clips, swapped a few wheels about so I could get the summer tyres on the 205. Clipped the Clutch cable on, adjusted it vaguely, bolted the drivers seat in, bolted the drivers door mirror on. Then I only bloody drove it up and down the back lane still air in the brakes somewhere  good thing the handbrake works ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

(actual spec is meant to be 1076, but the factors list a 1078, guess more vehicles use that size and this will take that up ion the adjuster fine)  £1.20 of clip, off the shelf, quite surprised they had one as they (peugeot/citroen) haven't been using a 16v XU for some time and they are stainless so don't need replacing unless lost!...  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
