Started my V reg 306 HDi this morning about to set off for work and
after about 30 seconds the cars running noise actually changed from a
normal sound to a very loud dull (bad boy exhaust) noise as I set off.
It is a little frosty and damp this morning but I've never had this

My 02 406 Exec has just flashed up 'Economy mode active' on the display. I
was worried this was the same as 'safe mode' but the car is behaving
normally and the message has not rturned on subsequent journeys.
Any ideas anyone, regards Phil.

It is just in front of my right knee,  and has two arrows, one pointing down the other up with a large X between them. It pushes in and lights up but I can not detect any being activated.  Does anyone have a hand book that tells you what this switch is for?.

Got an R-reg 406GLX 2.1TD and it sounds like the pads are worn down
now so obviously they need replacing. Is this an easy job? On previous
cars (no anti-lock and niceties) it's just been a case of taking off
the wheel, removing a bold and swinging the chunk of metal up that

I have a noisy XUD diesel engine on my 205 - sounds like an old 8 valve
fiesta, it's really clicky when you rev it. Firstly is this normal? And

I've just got a lovely little 205 GRD, needs the battery charging
before I take her for her MOT. Does anyone know exactly what tools I
need to buy to take the battery out? I'm fairly sure the positive

Some of you may have read my earlier post on my non working rev gauge in the
HDI Partner van, well as you know, Peugeot quoted 410 quid to sort it.

45 quid including next day delivery and sent me a ...

Is anybody familiar with the intricacies of the multi-function display on
the 406?  I have the 406 V6 estate and the one omission that irks me is

Is it a case that the functionality is there and can be accessed if one

Hi, Its been three years since my last brake fluid change so I guess now
