Not too bad to sort out then mate

Well yesterday i fitted up my K&N panel filter and refitted the tuning box, i must say what a difference the panel filter makes, feelsso much better to drive and the response is great! gotta say i love it tbh probably cant tell off the pics but luke an back me up when i say the depth of the filters is so different!
Best £25 ive spent must say! Heres some pics:

old VS new:

and fitted to car:

i know in the first pic they look different sizes but its just because the old one is higher up due to the depth of it

Nice mod mate, Panel filter ftw.

Has it got a good cold air feed??

JayWard · 21st December 2009, 11:45

cheers mate

tbh havent actually looked at the cold air feed (fail i know) totally forgot if im honest, will check that out later!

might not of made a massive load of difference regarding bhp etc but the drive is so much more free/responsive that the 25quid was well worth it!

R16H_RU · 21st December 2009, 17:35

did u have like a little rad in the bottom of your airbox?

JayWard · 21st December 2009, 17:38

yeah still have, like a little mesh rad type thing in the bottom of the airbox you mean mate? how come?

R16H_RU · 21st December 2009, 17:45

just never seen it before wondered if yours had it 2...because its piped up 2 the water rad i think its 2 warm up the air that comes through...i always thought cold airs better but obv not if thts in the bottom

JayWard · 21st December 2009, 17:47

ive never seen one before either lol wondered what the hell it was for! everything is still fine with the panel filter so im guessing it doesnt affect it

R16H_RU · 21st December 2009, 17:50

when i put my filter in i was thinkin of takein it out but its thr for a reason so best leave it....thy could do with a better air feed 2bh

JayWard · 21st December 2009, 22:59

yeah prob best to leave it tbh i always thought the same as you though regards to cold air being better etc

UPDATE 08-01-10:

Well not so long ago i enquired on here about the car struggling to start etc and was aimed at the glow plugs, anyway i fitted some new glow plugs 2 days ago and yesterday i came to start the car and it was having none of it, the battery went flat really quick as if it had been drained overnight, anyway called the RAC out and we kept trying to get the car started which in turn burnt out the starter motor lol i was like great! but we didnt let this stop us trying to figure out the problem, after many tests he said something was draining the battery and staying on a live feed - this turned out to be the glow plug relay unit which had gone faulty inside and caused the contacts to be constantly touching which gave it a live feed which kept my glow plugs on overnight too and knackered them lol! so now because of the stupid relay i need:
1. Stater Motor
2. New Glow Plugs
3. Glow Plug Relay
4. Battery (Covered Under Warranty Though)

I estimate the costs to be around the £185 mark for the parts! just what i need! Rac said i should notice the car kick back into life again as he reckons the relay has been causing me problems for a while tbh all this because of a £30 relay lol anyway will update over next few days once its sorted

couple of pics:

Enjoy

R16H_RU · 8th January 2010, 11:39

Sorry 2 hear about the problems mate....your probly best 2 search on peugeotcentral for mechanical things..any problem u might have chances am someone on there has experienced same problem

JayWard · 8th January 2010, 17:26

cheers mate, obv annoying as hell but just gotta plod on and get on with things, hopefully if they are the only faults as listed above car should be sorted by monday

UPDATE on problems 09-01-10:
After the problems with getting the starter motor yesterday with it being the wrong one i made a few phone calls today and managed to sort something out with EuroCarParts and were very happy with their service, managed to pick up the starter motor and glow plug relay from them and took them down to the garage where i used to work, got a phone call an hour later saying that they were both fitted on the car which i was dead happy with

now just got to sort out a set of glow plugs and a battery then should fingers crossed be ok (if what me and the RAC guy found were the only things wrong lol) hoping to have it back on the road on monday!
