Watch out with those jacking points. Look up some threads on it for more information, but in short: they’re very easy to bend!

Doesn’t look so bad indeed. Nice job.

Mine felt like a cv joint being broken. A knocking sound and feel every revolution or so. Scared me the first time. Maybe try it on loose sand? If it does not knock, it’s the tyres.

Some tyres have this effect. I also had it with my R on its original rubber. At full lock it skips over its own threads. Now I have conti’s and they don’t have it.

Good luck with the drive home! Drive safely! Out of curiosity, how many miles has it done? New struts seems to suggest many miles?

I used sportcontact 7’s. In tests they came in on top.

The CD version is the same as the VM I think. The diagrams are not very helpful, but maybe print them out so you can better follow the lines/wires.

The full wiring diagrams are available in the official Peugeot manuals. There are VM’s (virtual machines) to be found on the web, which run windows 95 with a hacked version of it. All Peugeot cars up to 2013 are in it. Do you have experience with this sort of thing? There are (also illegal) CD’s...

It’s possible to charge this way , to my knowledge. The car itself charges the battery at >14V or so, so it’s no problem to do that yourself.

Gefeliciteerd! Enjoy the car!

Ok, then job well done!

The round hole is part of the engine noise circuit, to hear some more engine noise in the cabin. There is a pipe which connects to it, did you remove it or was it never there? I replaced the filter cover with one without the hole and removed the pipe. It seems to me this is a sort of air leak...

Happy birthday! Hope you had fun!

Thanks Eddie! This will surely help me and many others in the future!!

Bummer. As it failed so catastrophically, must be something apparent. No loose hoses?
