Well luckily my local 'trusted' garage can get a new cable for £15 and will charge £15 fitting so £30 all in. I think that's just for the one side though. I'd get the 2 done but i'm looking to ge ... |

I had a hole in my water hose (rubber) on my 2001 206 I used to own and the new part was hard plastic. Sorry I'm not a mechanic but the water pump / hose may be different parts??? |

It's not uncommon to get the horn wet considering its position, which happened to me. Had to get it replaced. Can't comment on the air bag though but yours sounds more like an electrical fault than ... |

A new exhaust may not solve your problem, it depends how far along the exhaust system you intend to go. Isn't the Cat the last sesction before the manifold? |

My cutting out was always after wet weather so I'm guessing that a sensor was getting damp and giving false readings to the ECU and causing it to cut out. May not be your problem but worth a look. |

Just parked my car today and when I pulled the handbrake up there was a loud click and now it rides far too high (almost vertical before it will click). I'm sure these are self adjusting but is there ... |

If you had the same problem as me where the horn fuse would blow all the time (or putting in a higher amp fuse made it sound constantly (which is a bad idea by the way)) then you probably need an ECU ... |
