Newbie y'all, got a 306 hdi d turbo, stage 1 map, de cat, boost gauge, just getting it in mint condition at the min, done 106k. Just had a limp mode issue but sorted now, all it took was a new fuel filter and runs better than b4 big time
Just trying 2 get a pic uploaded but struggling atm. Any help welcome, live im Staffordshire by the way if there is ever any meets going on wud like 2 know, cheers guys p.s could do with a better place 2 route my boost gauge pipe work in to the car, its sort of bodged in going in thru the door hinge area at the min wud love 2 sort it proper,
Think there is a little rubber bung next to the brake servo, Push it through there!
you mean next 2 the brake servo? There's nothing on the passengers side of the bulkhead any way,
yeah, like directly to the right of the servo, there should be a grommet to poke a hole in/topoke all the way thru.
also, welcome. your name. i see what you tharr
Name is jed, jus trying 2 get a pic of my car up but on struggling cuz using my fone atm
oh right, so it wasn't a play on jedi? awww....

Will give it a try with the pics, wanna make my profile look a bit better, got a p.c at home with all my decent pics on so will do it on there, what mods R U running mate
I don't currently have a 306 on the road, but I used to have an xsi, lowered, yellow headlights and white wheels. And a rediculous exhaust.

Nothing wrong with that at all hahaha, that's where mine is and held there with a shit load of gaffer tape
Welcome BTW!!
welcome
.
Cheers 4 all the welcomes peeps, still can't find the mystery rubber hung next 2 the brake servo 2 run my boost gauge lime thru, any more ideas where it can b done, I do like the bodged look running it thru the door, but jus wanna tidy it up a bit more, also the gauge is mounted abouve the ash tray so wanna put it in a vent instead,
welcome 2 the forum m8. No idea y you cant find the rubber bung next 2 the break servo. SHould be rel8tvly easy 2 find!
If there isn't a bung, whip out the drill and make your own hole, you can buy grommets cheap to put back in or silicon it back up.
Jus gotta b careful where 2 drill tho ha! What side is it on if ur looking straight at the servo, mines a phase 3 hdi by the way, also any1 know a good place 2 get my cyclones sprayed up in mids/ Derbyshire / Staffordshire? Not scuffed at all, jus paint bubles in a few places. N nice 1 4 all the good chat on ere, good site with good peeps on ere!

As said i would be inclined to refurb myself.
I did my own wheels you can choose what colour you want.
What grade sand paper would U use and what's the best primer and paint, its gotta b durable on alloys ain't it mate
id say flat with no less than 500 wet and dry tbh if its just scuffs or are you filling aswel?
Welcome mate

If the alloys have bubbled/oxidized, you will have to take the paint right the way back to alloy (80 disc is useful). or get them sandblasted.
Then work your way up the grades (80 > 180 > 320 > quick 500) to get all the deep scratches out from the 80 and to make the alloys smooth.
Blow them off an panel wipe. mask up. blow and panel wipe again. and let spraying happan!
Hope this helps or gives you an idea anyway.
