Big oops..
Lift off oversteer is one of the fun points of the zx/306. I actually prefer the handling to the old 205's. Maybe becuase they are a bit bigger they ride the bumps rather than skitting over them like 205's do sometimes. You still use the rear in the bends, I have had a few lairy angles, but it seems your bro went one futher! Managed to get a wheel on the grass and then brakes and over he went?
306/zx is the same car in fact mechanically. ZX a touch lighter and a whole lot cheaper! My ZX is now being broken into a 306 dTurbo in fact. If you want any bits let me know but all susp and engine is being used.

Funnily enough he bought a 306TD and several bits have made the transfer including the rear beam! Engine is sitting in a garage somewhere at my folks place, complete with ancilleries still attached. Obviously it's in the way and he left home a couple of years back! |

Your eyes are working fine! Its a part you get from the stealership for about £15 but you are welcome to it.
Have all the things you mentioned apart from the gearknob as that was replaced ages ago. Best thing to do is have a good think what you need and email it to me at gjwarm2000@yahoo.co.uk and I will try and get it all in a package for ya. I'd rather see the stuff used than crushed!

And thanks benzboy! ;D Many happy hours spent in scrapyards looking at all sorts of cars gets you to realise how much parts sharing there is!
For example, here's a list of cars that the ubiquitous PSA XUD was fitted to in one guise or another. care to add any more?
Citroen ZX, Xantia, Xsara, Berlingo, ..
Peugeot 205, 405, 306, Partner, ..
Volvo 440TD, ..
LDV Pilot
Rover 218, 418
Any more?

just finished fitting an old boost gauge i had lying around, took most of the afternoon as i made it from bits of scrap i had lying around (piping made from my old fireblade brake hoses from when i upgraded to braideds on it). it was a total curse word of a job and it looks like a small child fitted it but it seems to be working.
in second and third it looks like it's registering 12-13psi, surely thats quite high for a zxtd isnt it?

Sounds about right mate. They were supposed to have 14psi when new. You can turn the fuel screw in half a turn and turn the boost pin around plus get a grainger valve and up the boost to 18psi all safely to get probably a 20bhp increase FOR FREE!! The best thing is the mpg wont suffer and you will get a hell of a lot more bottom end as well. Even with that tuning you will be surprised what they can do Parts are all off the car now, getting scrapped tomorrow  Heres to the next incarnation!! ;D |
