Does anyone know if anywhere other than Peugeot sell the the threaded part that pushes over the positive battery terminal? Or what they're called? Have tried searching with a few different terms but no luck! Mine has only got a few teeth left and would like to replace it! Cheers |

hm..... im afraid i agree with rikky.half of the peugeot specific things make life awkward and stressfull. id also mention i managed to remove about a foot of wire from the original battery loom. on a stanny car it doesnt help but if youve relocated your battery every cm of wire counts. ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

The threaded castle battery connectors always corrode and break up. I ditched mine on my old ph2.The clamp on the later cars is also very s**t. Again i cut them off and replaced them with some from my local motor factors for less than a tenner. Job jobbed  ________________________________________ ***Breaking*** Ph3 Silver GTI 6 High Boost |

The threaded castle connector doesn't corrode if you look after it and not drive the car in salty weather.However, if it's an all year round vehicle then I can see why that might happen, try some anti corrosion grease on it for those which still have the connector fitted.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

So following on from this i have recently discovered my neutral cable has seen better days (the end connecting on to the gear box) i will replace the cable that also connects from the gear box (smaller cable) to the chassis leg. Does anyone know the thicknesses of these 2 cables and where i can get a connector (terminal end) and connectors for the gear box and chassis leg also? Many thanks Matt. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |
