Kevin Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 looks good! have you had a chance to get the clutch fixed yet? andré Hi André :-) yea the clutch is fixed... though the mechanic that replaced the clutch (not the guy that painted it) fscked up a bunch of stuff. it doesn't start cleanly anymore, it stutters and i have to hold the gas for a few until it warms up. and he broke the speedo cable on top of the other niggles with it. I need to pull the bumper on the passenger side so it's straight. the glovebox latch got broken while the clutch was getting fixed. there are a few grounding and other electrical issues. the fog lights don't work, ABS doesn't work but it runs and drives, starts and mostly stops, the heat and heated seats work. After I get the above stuff fixed I'll put my peugeot mud flaps on and maybe try my hand at a rear fog light like i did on my old 505. I'm happy with the paint though, it's very pretty.

andrethx Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 so many questions.... 1) the red really "pops" in the photos your friend took! is that the original peugeot red? is this an hdr photo? 2) i take it the mechanic that fixed your clutch and busted everything else is not a peugeot specialist? 3) on a fwd car, do the mudflaps go up front? and, most importantly, 4) how does the 405 drive as compared to your 505? andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looks good, the passenger side of the front bumper skin is hanging low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi André, I think it's just that the iPhone camera is just that much better than mine. I didn't have to do any adjustments on the pics. Yea there aren't really any peugeot specialists around here in the midwest that i know of. he just didn't know what he was doing. IDK, when i work on a computer i don't return it to a client in worse shape than i got it... still a bit peeved by the whole situation. I have four peugeot logo mud flaps so i'm gonna put one on each wheel. the 405 is a different car, fwd, more modern, cheaper interior than the 505. they drive differently. they're still both very comfortable though. Mike T: yea i know, i need to unbolt the bumper, pull it and reattach. Side note: how do you like your Merc B class? Supposedly the states are getting the next rev.

andrethx Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 so what about the color? is it the original red color, or did you go with something else? andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Mike T: how do you like your Merc B class? Supposedly the states are getting the next rev. Very good car, it is HUGE inside. More room than an E-Class. The new generation W246 car that the US will get is smaller inside (the trunk mainly) but should have more economical engines. Mine has a lifetime average (70,000 miles) of about 33 US MPG. The 405 handles better though. I miss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
