I came home and found she'd dived straight in. On the job training I think they call it.

Interior lights now working from the sliding and rear doors. Front switch's corroded so ordered four febi ones. I said the warranty claims would run and run. She;s paying so I told her she needed four. Same on a Doka haha dasterturdly motor trade man ripping her off.

Could be that bloody sparkle reflecting,the old one didn't do it as its full of fog.? I noticed the new headlight plugs I soldered in when doing the rebuild have started to melt around the main beam connection.We did have Aldi "uprated bulbs" in it. Same wattage as standard 472 bulbs. What i'm trying to say in my usual round about way is don't fanny around with uprated bulbs till you've fitted a loom upgrade.We don't want photos on here of molten fire balls that used to be t4's.Last edited by S49; 7 November 2020, 09:09 PM.

Thought the gear linkage had gone today, no 5th and getting reverse instead of first. But no when i got home i found the repair i did to the off side engine mount had failed.Now i have a sheared off bolt to extract and then make a beefer bracket. Mind while its off i've offered it up to the 1.8t. the holes line up but theres a part of the bracket that will need cutting off the one i have coming from feabay. Hope for pictures tomorrow of how i repair it properly this time. It did to 3000 miles. The local Peugeot agent put a 3000 mile and 3 month disclaimer on their work so its borderline whether Mol will get a bill or not.

No mate front mount, thread broken off the block. Made a repair bracket to use another pair of threaded holes on the block but my bracket was not strong enough and one bolt has sheared off but all repairable with a little thought. The first try lasted 3000 miles.

The loom upgrade lessens the voltage drop at the bulb, the more current you draw the greater the voltage drop because V=I x R.
R will be a constant - it's the resistance in the loom
I is the current, higher wattage bulb = more I
So to lessen the voltage drop you need to get R to a minimum which is where the upgrade loom works.
