Dardandec   32 #181 Posted November 11, 2018 My tester says that it is a visual inspection only and anything less than 3mm he will stick it on as an advisory unless there are obvious chunks of pad material flaked off in which case he will fail even if the brake test is passed.  I am a class 4 MOT tester mate.

rudds1   102 #187 Posted February 15, 2019 First thing I’d do is jack up the car and check the suspension springs ,see if they have broken , ,then check the anti roll bar link bars and then check ball joints see if any excess movement in those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Resident   1,129 #189 Posted March 2, 2019 If they're Ford lock nuts then you can get one from them. They'll know which pattern key from your reg/vin number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gamezone07   18 #190 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Peugeot 307 2006, the car has been breaking down a number of times recently, Mech thinks it may be the alternator as three(2nd hand) batteries have been drained and ruined upto now, but most salient issue is that the immobiliser key fell apart and was then re-assembled. While it worked a few times, it now won't work now, car won't start, fuel pump not starting, message on ECU is 'economy mode', which I believe means that ECU is shutting down processes and that the transponder on the key isn't working. I have the peugeot dealers card to get a discount for a replacement key, but really don't want to spend all that money. I f i get a version of Peugeot Planet would that help,  any ideas,  Aldresearch around?  tx, Edited April 23, 2019 by gamezone07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   207 #191 Posted April 24, 2019 "Economy mode" means that the battery is going flat and the car has turned off things like electric windows, heater and radio to save power.  I bet the regulator on the alternator has gone and its been overcharging.  I've surprised that when a new battery was fitted, the voltage wasn't checked.  Check your key by doing the "beep test" - put key in ignition and open door. If you hear beeps then the car is detecting the key.  If your key broke up, check you haven't lost the ID46 chip from inside the case:   If you need the key code or a replacement key, there's a great chap in Bradford who does them for a fraction of the price of the dealers. See item 14:  http://www.peugeotforums.com/forums/introductions-28/brief-faq-guide-new-members-83170/#post529130 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
