Not aligned properly when fitted? Loosen the clamp to the main pipe, rotate the box one way or the other to stop if fouling the bumper (if it hasn't rusted up already), tighten back up. |

Spring failures are common these days - combination of speed bumps, manufacturing tolerances and the fact that cars just last longer.

All good still - so assuming the codes must have been cause by a slight misfire (either plug on its way out or just the result of high load and wide plug gaps). |

Yep droplinks in my case - working on the basis that they'd say "track rod ends" for the steering ball joints Ste refers to.

Anti roll bar tie rods - about 10in long go from the ARB up to the strut below the spring pan. Have replaced both sides on my daughters 206.
Nuts tend to rust solid and the joint rotates, have a n ... |

Hi
Engine light has been coming on intermittently (normally clears after re-start) on my daughters 206 1.1 (2002 '51 plate 65K). Just checked the codes and it is reporting P0203 and P0505.

Undo rear sear belt bolt at the bottom, put fingers through hole where front seat belt goes through and pull. That should release most of the front edge, then a bit more fiddling at the back (moving s ... |
