Despite only ordering the Glowplugs yesterday, they arrived this morning! No time like the present, so I set about installing the hugely valuable (£11.99) new ones.. First up was a liberal skooshing of proprietary lubrication fluid.  Then out for a drive to my Unit - with another squirt when I arrived. A bit of faffing later and it was back to my Gaff, and time to tackle them (after lunch and another skoosh, of course!)  The super jointy faffery sockets as supplied by my neighbour made short work of 3 out of the 4 plugs - number 2 is directly behind the fuel pump and looked a sod to get at, so discretion was applied Number 1 is a straight shot, no problemo  Number 3 needs the small breather pipe moving to get in - you can see the nipple it connects to directly above the ratchet  Number 4 lives next to the fuel filter - pulling the top off made it easier to reinstall - removing the oil cap/dipstick creates space to turn the ratchet/bar  Suffice to say, the new ones looked significantly shinier than the old, and I think the 3 new have reduced the cold start drama!   |

Think I need front arms and dampers on this-feels a bit vague especially on Left hand bends when "pressing on".
something to look at during the weekend.
any suggestions where to start?

I had a near identical one that started my love for older peugeots. Few things out of experience, if the leak continues, if it's not the sunroof drain plugs, mine had a simular issue which was due to faulty door seal.
I would also suggest checking whether the rear passenger wheel arch has a plastic inner cover (being a 3dr ph2, I doubt it) just if they don't, they are prone to rust right at the top of the wheel arch (goes all the way past the fake fuel filler cap) if it doesn't have a plastic wheel arch inner, remove the plastic surround on the inside (between the boot window and the rear quarter window, where the rear passenger seat belt feeds from) as they tend to rust there which is just by the rear seat belt mounting point.
All the same, looks a cracking example, the oh2 3 doors are getting thin on the ground which haven't been slammed or modded in anyway!

The leak doesnt seem to have stopped, so will look at sunroof frains and seals at the weekend. will also hopefully get it up for a prod in the arches:) |

Ye olde rugdoctor performed its usual sooky miracle    However, despite spending plenty time checking for leaks with a hose, and making sure the sunroof drains were clear, the leak has continued! We found some water getting in at he base of the window, but it seems to just run down the door and drain out. That said it is coming in at the rear, and running out the front, which seems slightly odd.. Its really starting to annoy me! |

Trousers at half mast please chaps - Poor Pug has Passed on..
What you are watching is a stoically steady fuel pump pulley - It should rotate when the engine cranks.
Looks like a lack of timing belt cohesion is has what did for it, Capt'n..

I decided the best way to sort this out was to give the curse word away. True to form my mate Joe (a Yorkshireman to trade) turned up to collect said chariot and wing it down South for some much needed head work(fnar) He rather kindly brought some beer!  |
