Peugeot 309 HDi 16v

Been driving this everyday recently since I’ve loaned my 206 out to a relation.
 
First thing I missed was central locking. The system worked on the car but I had misplaced the control module when I was faffing in the footwell. Luckily come across it again and got that back working. Installed a Chinese RF kit into in car and now remote central locking is a dream. Unfortunately the back actuators are knackered but the front and boot works for the moment.
 
The axle above wasn’t much cop as the tube was gone, so used the beam off Danny’s old 1.3 rattle box. That’s been ok for a time but it starting to creak now.
 
So seeing as the TU one isn’t insured or MOT’d I pulled the beam apart on that one. Found bearing were pretty goot but was the less needle type. So extracted them and installed new with new seals. Built up with new shafts and refreshed the drum brakes. Need to drop that off and put on the diesel now.

   

   

Also painted up my new subframe so when i drop that off i'll pull the gearbox to install my new clutch and fly.

   
 
Here’s a photo of it in the snow. Starting at -7* is about the limit without no glowplugs I’m thinking, as it took some persuading back in the cold weather. Thank god for the excide battery.
