Right chaps and ladyboy's.....
I have 2 weeks off work next month and i am going to take the car off the road and totally re do the front end.
Rear end will be done later, its already got bilsteins on and lowered.
The list below is things i want to change but just want some advice/direction on what and where to get things from.

I dont mind buying all genuine peugeot bits bit if i can get the same or better quality for less somewhere else, i will do that as most people would.

The list has bits all over the car so i could not narrow it down to one topic i.e suspension, cooling, engine etc so thats why i have posted in general.

So i want to renew

Radiator
Bottom pipe to match ( I have a 2000 ph3 6 )
Lower aircon pipe ( possibly )
New injector seals (As i have painted up my spare inlet manifold and fuel rail. Want to built it with new seals etc)
Ptfe inlet gasket ( As above )
Engine mounts ( dont really want group n ones as the shuck the car to bits last time. Apparently powerflex is a no)
Wishbone p bushes ( think i will get the ones from pug that welshpug suggests part no 3523 83 iirc )
Other wishbone bushes ( front bushes )
Arb droplinks
Arb bushes ( worth doing or not?? )
Ball joints
Track rod ends

Anything else you can think of??

As said, i dont mind buying genuine peugeot stuff but does anyone recomend other places or brands to the same quality?

I have bilstein b8's and eibach's to go on the front.
Any help on who does the best prices etc etc would be a great help.
Thanks
Ben.

Oh i will sling up a project thread soon Smile

later 306s have 2 aircon pipes along the bottom. 1 going from one end of the condenser to the compressor and one going from the compressor up to the top of the chassis leg. the first one is £65 from peugeot but they pop up on ebay regularly cheaper. i paid £25 for mine.

For new injector seals contact a guy called mrinjector on ebay
He can supply proper ones for 8quid a set with fiters and new end caps.
Tell him they are weber iw204's


Radiator get one from carparts4less.
A nissens is 138 on there with a 5%code and runs cooler

Engine mounts are best from peugeot imo as they are fairly cheap.

Most suspension stuff i would get trw or lemforder from carparts4less they are proper peugeot quality and lits cheaper.

as yours is a ph3 the lower hose will go again, if you buy a nissens rad you will get a new seal for the pipe, thats a saving tip for you.

I recently replaced all my wishbone bushes, and other joints for the front suspension/steering. I got most stuff from ECP but struggled to find somewhere that sold just the front bushes for the wishbones, try PM'ing jord294 as he sorted me out with some.

ECP had 31% off when i ordered, which took my order from £200 to £140. Cool (I ordered some other bits at the same time and didnt need some bushes as i acquired a brand new pug wishbone).
