#1: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2014 12:36 pm ---- Well after doing 32 hours overtime last month i've now got a new project on the go, no picture's yet till weekend when it's light.
Over the weekend I picked up a 53 plate 5 door SE spec 1.4 petrol 16 valve with manual box for the grand sum of £500.
It's done 115k mile's, MOT tested till end of June 2015, came with lot's of old paper work & it's HPI clear.
I've stuck 6 month's tax on it & then the insurance was £30 to add it on my current policy for a month
Drive's ok apart from a flat spot at low rev's ( possibly gummed up VVT ) & clutch is heavy.
Done about 80 miles on the way home & water + oil temp's sat at a rock steady 90 deg C.
Load's of silly little job's to do, mainly my time & hunt in my part's collection for bit's.
So far I've done:
Replaced a broken interior roof grab handle.
Replaced MFD bulbs.
Freed of both door lock barrels.
Adjusted tailgate so it shut's correctly.
Replaced broken dipstick.
Replaced missing SP vent knob's on 2 vent's.
Currently waiting on the weekend to come so I can work in the light
The car was cheap BUT I also know it does need some time & money spending on it to bring it up to standard again.
Ill update thread with picture's over the weekend.

Don't forget the "Phat! bodykit" and the "well sik sound system".
#6: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2014 5:37 pm ---- This one is staying factory standard, I'm just gonna fix all the issues & give it a major service.

Most of them are not required, as plurals don't need apostrophes Last edited by Barking on Wed Oct 29, 2014 5:48 pm; edited 1 time in total

It's okay Lee. You noticed, so my work is done
#10: Re: Project run about Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:43 am ---- Well that is a nice project,this car is lucky that it ended to your skillful hands :),it will have a nice new life,so it got the KFU engine on board ;),can't wait to see pics of it.
I have sent you a mesg. too,guess it went with loads you deleted,i will send it to you again
#11: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:19 am ---- Been raining most of the weekend so no pictures yet
Anyway more jobs done:
Binned the crappy Peugeot locking wheel bolts & fitted some McGards.
Replaced blown cigarette lighter & ashtray bulbs.
Had the Com 2000 unit apart & sorted the wiper stalk out so rear wiper & trip computer now work correctly, just swopped the end unit over - was shocked to find it's the original October 2003 unit
Binned the crappy NGK spark plugs & fitted some new Bosch one's, already runs a hell of a lot better
Replaced a broken breather pipe.
Repaired the non working ultrasonic alarm button.
#12: Re: Project run about Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:34 am ---- Good that you don't waste anytime to fix it
#13: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:50 am ---- Forgot to mention I had to buy a special small spark plug socket as the ET3 engine uses smaller then normal spark plugs
If you want to change plugs on a ET3 lump then this is the spark plug socket you will need
#14: Re: Project run about Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:54 am ---- I had to buy one of those sockets to get the plugs out of our 207 CC.
#15: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:56 am ---- Worked a treat, i've never seen plugs with that small a hex on a automotive engine before.
The list of jobs to do is getting smaller
#16: Re: Project run about Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:46 pm ---- 12mm multi hex if i remember right, most are 14mm multi hex (or convetional 6 point hex)
#17: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 3:24 pm ---- Quick update:
Well Diagbox found the running fault, P1153 - motorised throttle body.
Picked up a good 2nd hand unit cheap to fit at weekend.
Apparently its a common problem & software update also needed.
Another job for the list.
#18: Re: Project run about Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 4:19 pm ---- Throttle bodies are common to fail, don't forget to learn the throttle and perform resetting of the auto adaptives.
Also did you ever update your ecu software? As ive had random fault codes when they are out of date! Or the software is playing up
#19: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 4:29 pm ---- Not had software update yet, its on the list
I reset auto adaptive yesterday & low speed response is better.
#20: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2015 12:57 pm ---- A little update as the project draws near to the end.
Software update the other week & the car runs & drives a lot better
1 question: Anyone know where to find the auto / motion locking setting in the BSI configuration with Planet?
Also fitted heated seat kit to the leather interior I picked up the other month
Thanks to the way the £ is doing against the € its far cheaper to get the kit delivered form Germany then it is to buy it in the UK
Going to do a full round up post in a few weeks when its finally finished.
Last job on the list is to clean it inside & out
#21: Re: Project run about Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:53 pm ---- Lol good point, need to rummage German sale websites :))

A very long time since I've used PP, but I'm sure there was a Locking or something similar when you went into the BSI. Majority of the time I could only ever find the auto re-lock setting to switch on in most 206s, which was odd as I'm sure that option was only available in the SW!

That brings back memories, fitting them in the car!
#23: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 1:52 pm ---- Hi Lee
I've seen the auto relocking setting in the BSI.
Im going to have a look on my GLX as you activated the auto / motion locking on that one & see if I can find the settings.
Both cars have the exact same equipment for door locking / security, only the BSI unit part numbers & the software versions are different.

Just came by here looking for instructions on Resetting Auto Adaptives, and discovered this line. What does a 'software update' refer to in this context please?
(For clarity, I removed the horrendous universal cone filter previous owner added to my GTi and put a standard airbox back on... and want to do a reset to get the idle a bit smoother. Hoping that an adaptive reset will help.)
#25: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 11:14 am ---- The engine ecu software was updated by a Peugeot main dealer along with BSI software.
#26: Re: Project run about Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 11:17 am ---- Thanks. I thought that might be the case. Mind if I ask how much that set you back?
#27: Re: Project run about Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 11:48 am ---- £42 but was a small friendly Peugeot dealer & a Saturday morning job.
#28: Re: Project run about Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 3:21 pm ---- And three years ago!
#29: Re: Project run about Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Tue Jul 24, 2018 8:58 am ---- Haha yes. Well I can *try* my local dealer, as I've got to book the 308 GTi for its service. Is there a way I can tell if it needs an update?
