 Video clicky Well not looking too good and has already eaten a tyre due to not knowing it had happened and the end plate flew round wearing away a groove in the tyre. What's the easy fix?  ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

replacement beam, they really are a poor design compared to the 205/309/306 unfortunately, closely spaced bearings  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

That's what I need to talk to you about.... I need you to find one and fit it while i'm on holiday.  Suppose 129000 wasn't a bad innings. ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

No need to fit another beam!!What's happened is the ARB end plate BOLT has snapped. You'll need to drill it out and re-tap the hole with a bigger thread. I find it a pretty esy job but i've done it about 50 times by now. The ARB seal looks to be okay. ________________________________________ www.krisb.co.uk |

As said easy fix, but I'd replace all the bearings while your there as these beams really do need preventive maintenance.I'd just Timesert it to keep the original 8mm thread there and it's a stronger fix ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Kris B that's been my view but others seem to differ. I know the bolt has sheared so this suggestion seems the obvious one to me from the outset. This is the current answer, although 3 in situ not the 2 I took the picture of. Holding up well it's been to Tewkesbury and back and still all in place. Cambridge tomorrow...  MOT is due soon so guess it may fail that... Timesert  Must Google that.________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

Timeserts are a steel insert so allot stronger than a Helicoil of which I would never use again, but they do cost more________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
