I thought the blocks were more or less the same. Looking good Carl. It's good to see my Xsara is going to live on  ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

yes the xsara loom are a bit neater and have a better plug to wire into than the 306 looms. what oil pressure sensor you using, 306 xsi or s16 one is what you need.the xsara vts box is the best box to use also, it has a stronger diff than the earlier BE boxes and as a syncro for reverse, you should also fit the xsra vts rack, this is the quickest of all the racks and will bolt straight on |

Well fter not touching the car for some time i decided to get Dave to do some work so i could carry on stripping down the engine bay.The bay now is more or less bare and just needs the wiring removing, had some fun when i removed the air horn with the garage air line  Dave called me a cock and nearly smashed it up!!! I dont think he like being force fed his cob by the scare.

Moved on a little bit, the car has now come off the axle stands and now is supported by an engine crane and a block of wood, totally stripped now and ready for paint- All washed off and rid of all the grime and gunge that builds up, took me ages and i think the grime that came off the car landed on me!! Also picked up my new engine bay sticker set-  Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.
