I took the gaitor of one with the reverse cable recently.  Someone hat already taken the knob.   I noticed the cable just hanging loose and presumed that it would have attached to a fitting at the bottom of the gear knob.

If you can't see the attatchment, perhaps you have the wrong knob?

I think you will need to get añ experienced mechanic to have a listen.
Could be tricky as you don't want to drive it. 
Perhaps talk to a mobile mechanic and see if they will come and give a quote for any repairs necessary.

Never done it to the extent of causing damage but I would think blown seals or gaskets would be likely.
That would be obvious by loss of oil if external but could be some internal blow by.
The pump may be damaged.
Where is the noise coming from?  Top or bottom of engine, pulley end?
Did the oil look ok when you drained it?

Hello and welcome Rednip.   

I haven't a clue what radios were originaly fitted.  Nor do I know a lot about radios.  But I was under the impression that provided the head unit was capable of receiving the wheel controls signals, it would be just a question of wiring.   I might be completely wrong though.

Anyway... I recently removed a head unit from an expert with wheel controls.  With it came the short converter lead which goes from peugeot loom to standard iso radio socket.  The lead has 3 extra wires from the iso socket, which are currently unconected and insulated  with what look to be factory sticky labels.

Perhaps if you have the corresponding wires coming from your wheel control they might match up?

The three extra wires are:-

Blue marked P.CONT & ANT.CONT
Brown marked MUTE on both sides of label
Blue & Yellow marked REMOTE CONT & STEERING WHEEL REMOTE INPUT

It may even work with your current Kenwood.  If not, it may help if you do find an original radio without the lead.
You are welcome to it if you want to give it a go.

Do you know if it's the same as earlier ones?

If it is I can spare one, probably get the harness socket too.

Edit... just noticed it's an old post but offer still stands if anyone needing one.

I would be interested in recomendations too.

My own has degraded with age and is cracked with bits falling off! 

Sorry to report that the Michaelmass bluegrass festival has officially been cancelled.

Any of those wires live...ignition on or off?

Hello and welcome Lewis. 

Replacing the broken locator and it's guide will help a lot but probably not resolve all.  They are notoriously prone to draughts and usualy lift at speed.

The locators are usualy listed on ebay but watch out for useless plastic ones.  They should be cast metal.  There are a few listed at the moment but it's difficult to be sure of material.  I would ask seller before ordering.  Search for - Genuine Peugeot Expert Fiat Scudo Citroen Dispatch Sliding Door Locator + Guide

The middle latch which appears to be missing it's hook, is I think only used on central locking models.  (?)  No front central latch on either of the early mk 1 doors I swapped last week.

Edit...  just notice from your pic that the broken locator looks to be tapered from both sides.  The metal ones on mine are more of a one sided wedge shape at the end rather than the arrow point on yours.  Stronger and more effective I think.

Edit. .. also noticed what looks like central locking sprung contacts on bottom of your door.  So my idea on that was wrong.  Who knows why the B pillar has an obvious middle catch spot welded on but nothing to latch into it?

Yes a lot of this info will be very useful in the future as our vans age.  Thanks for all the detail and pics.

And your last car?... too late, I have seen it.

Hello and welcome John. ☺

Your post breaks quite a few records I think.  Not least for the investment of advanced skills and tech.  I look forward to following your vlogs.

Are you building for a specific trip?
