 down with rain, just before I made a start on the front of the car, SO fingers crossed I can finish the job today. After I finish work.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Yep had one. Well the slightly earlier shape followed by two XSi's (all new) and all in the darker metallic blue. then followed by a new 106 Gti
no troubles with any of them and back then the standard stereo was cracking. |

I had the Phase 1, ( Square front) The XSi was another favourite to have along side the DTurbo and HDI. I think the colour you are thinking about could be called china blue. The 106s are still very popular as track cars.
Update today, Made a start with the disc and pad change, all was going well. Until i came to putting the car back together. Somthing wasnt right. My dad came out to check his defenders Oil and took a look, and said that one of the pins seems to have stuck. Which ended up snapping, so i have to get two carriers as i can see the other side been a pain in the arse.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Well my pal tapped the front hub for me, so I can now secure the front disc, but that's about it until my replacement parts come. Looks like they are made to order now due to the age of the car. ( been nearly 20 years old so they are no longer stocked on shelf sadly) I did hope they would have been here yesterday so that I could have had the brakes completed. But looks like its going to be Friday when I finish night shift.

Well the car is back together, and we have a leak at the front, Right where to the front meets the back
 So I have to strip the car down again engine bay wise to get access to these two little !! But the rears did start to get the fluid through so all is ok there, a part from that we are very close! hand brake is back, so that's another job ticked off.
Only needs these two lines done and we are laughing Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

well we found out what the story was, the female ends are not the right ones, after we did some checking with the old units. The ones that were put on the new pipes were the same as the defender, so I recon the place put either old stock ends or something, as the old ends went on no trouble at all.

Well old ends are swopped on to the new pipes and are installed, So its a case of bleeding again and checking. So fingers crossed I can be back on the road.

I think it was called Miami blue. I had a 94 DTurbo. Best none Land Rover I’ve ever had...apart from the civic type r, but they seem to be owned by idiots these days Edited....sorry just re read. You were talking about the darker blue. The Miami blue was a cross between Subaru blue and bmw blue if you know what I mean 2002 110 td5 |

Ah yeah Miami blue! that was another favourite colour, in the 306 range. Not sure if that colour continued into the later phase 3, China blue might have replaced that, moonstone was a phase 3 colour I think.
The early ones never gave any trouble at all, the later one like mine had problems with crank pulley and fuel pump. Which i have replaced a few years ago. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

Well today I decided to go back to old school days, I fitted the changer and Head unit, that was going to go in the Defender. I did have the same setup 10 years ago. so the wiring was still there for the changer.
So with in a space of an hour it was installed.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge And guess what, it all works
