hi all just saying a hello iam from north Norfolk
i just pick my first black 206cc (04) today and iam happy with it
there's a few issues that i could do use some help with following list
temperature gauge not working
some person has hacked the main radio harness as the wires are funny colours lol
oil leak on gearbox seal
all discs and pads need changing so is there any place that is recommend ?
ant help would be grateful

You could change your disks and pads yourself. The guage could be a faulty sensor.

thanks tenpole
iam ordering full set tomorrow discs and brakes , found out its not the coolant temp but the oil temperature gauge so still could be a faulty sensor .
i mover the front driver seat up today and the poxy air bag light has come on know thats great

I think it might be a connection in the seat belt that caused the air bag light.

When that happens with ours I wriggle the wires under the driver's seat. Last time it happened the clip had come adrift from the seat frame. I re-secured it with a couple of cable ties and I've had no trouble since. (I suppose I'm tempting fate now I've said that!)

Re the brakes - you'll probably need a wind-back tool for the rear caliper pistons.

i will try the wiggle the wire trick , it seems to have the same sort of bug that the mk3 espace had but thats a different story lol
thanks for the tips and advice so far i could do with a diagram for the radio connection as some muppet hack all the radio wires and as the colours coding is typically french lol
oh why can some people just buy lso connections none of the steering controls work but need to sort out the permanent live to ignition live so it doesnt drain the battery ?
