Loads of those never got anywhere near Peugeots recomended belt change interval before snap

I had one snap on me in a 406 
This was way back in 1999
Never was the same again once rebuilt under warranty, then again I got shot of it not long after.
Worse car I have ever owned so far

i can remember doing a few 406 snapped belts, thats what brought the recall on, did the xu10j4 and xu9j4 engine in 406 and 306 , many an hour spent lapping valves in and draining hydraulic tappets. hell still remember the bruises from that lol. happy days. now i advise a belt on every service i do and always with a water pump. just not economical to do half a job in my eyes

I hated the 406 so much I got rid & went back to a trusty 405 
405 = better to drive & sweet chassis, basically goes where you point it 
I lost 40 mph cornering speed on a certain corner every morning on the way to work when I had the 406

with you on the 405. i had a mi 16 4x4 for a while and loved the way it drove, best pug i had till i got the 306 for going around bends. still getting used to the 180 even after 12 months. off topic but still love the old pugs. 309 gti was the dogs mi was wicked 306 was fun and so far the 206 is all of them into one.
anyway about timing belts. if you are around doncaster area i am sure a deal could bo done

Well.. At just over 50k, I don't think mine has ever been done, and I've had a horrible squeaking under the bonnet for ages! Somewhat worrying, but I just don't have the cash to get it changed yet!

Way out of my area im afraid but cheers anyway.
The again a TU3JP timing belt isnt that difficult to do
As for 405's
94 - GTX then 95 Exec
Rebuilt the leather manual front seats on to electric STDT frames & attached the seatbelt pretensioner brackets, then modded the heated seats to include a thermostat to stop them burning out in the normal 405 way.
STDT wiper stalk as well for varible timer on the wiper delay.
Set of Cyclones looked nice on it
