why are they sooo friggin hard to work on??
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() so Christmas eve the temp light comes on the dash telling me its getting to hot. I though ah obviously its the thermostat ![]() hmm i thought, got my dad to have a butchers and he said it was the temperature censor on the block...... right so off to the peugeot garage to get a new one. right got it in me hand ready to put it on, good it thought ![]() ![]() WRONG!! the clever people at peugeot have made it impossible to get at, i would have to remove the radiator, airbox and some plumbing to get at it with a spanner and i didn't have any long sockets that would fit over the censor. off to machine mart to get some longer sockets, got home replaced the censor now everything working nicely. all these presents had to come out of my money i put aside for the bike ![]() rant over ![]() |

Could be worse, could be a fiat where you get brake pads and discs for that year, turns out to be wrong and theres 5 possible sets of parts for that engine size and year. Sodding eyeties.

That sort of things alright, but its people with new cars, always skews the results.
What you really want to look for is the nastiest POS on the road with 3 months T+T for £50, when finished, throw away.
