A really interesting read. Agreed very nice work with great attention to detail. Would you consider working on a 3008?
I would love to but I honestly have no time. With work, band, study and fiddling with this car, I have no spare time.A really interesting read. Agreed very nice work with great attention to detail. Would you consider working on a 3008?

Use high quality LEDs. Not the cheap crap ones. Use high quality ones and you won't have an issue. The only time I have had to wire in resistors was for the front indicator (and soon the rears) globes to stop double flash...What did you do to get your interior lights working properly once you had changed them to LEDs?

Apparently, price doesn’t always equal quality. I don’t think that I bought the cheap stuff, but apparently it wasn’t good enough quality.Use high quality LEDs. Not the cheap crap ones. Use high quality ones and you won't have an issue.
At some stage I upgraded the low beams to LED units along with every T10 globe in the car. Even The indicator globes were upgraded. Again, Ali express. Now like I said there is a lot of crap on there but the products from the store CN360 are top notch. Min 1 year warranty on all of their stuff. Been using them for over 18months and never had a failure. Then I found audi style side indicators (where the light chases??) So i bought them. +2 street cred points. There are in a clear lense however I have done a few cosmetic upgrades over the last 3 weeks so I have a black set on order. The LED low beam globes are fantastic. Great visibility especially when wet. Mine are 6000k, anything higher I've found to be great to look at but useless as a form of lighting up the road in front of you (I do a lot of driving at night....) I have not upgraded the high beams yet as the light bar kinda surpasses it. However with 3 return trips to Brisbane scheduled over the next 13 months they will be changed out along with a pair of HID pencil beam spotties chucked on the roof rack. Maybe.

I remember now. This is another thing that I was going to comment on.Oh yeah, the two front poverty pack seats were removed, thrown in the bin and replaced with a pair of T6 XSE buckets. MUCH more comfortable. They are the ones with the pattern that looks a bit like chef pants
Yep now sitting at 458k. Original injectors, fuel pump, turbo.....Has it done 455k - or was that the clusters "adding" together when they were swapped over?
Tough call. 406 leather seats are divine. It was never planned to put C5 seats in it. It was purely a mad idea after work after I bought a C5 for its auto box. It had seat mounted arm rests on my previous 2 sets which has always been a must-have, hence why the glorious C4 super bucket seats never made it into the car. Plus they are Citroen seats (in my view Citroen make astonishingly comfortable seats). Pulled my LHF T6 seat out and flipped it upside down, pulled the LHF C5 seat out and flipped it upside down, eyeballed the mounts and wiring harness and worked out "yeah I reckon I can make this work"....I remember now. This is another thing that I was going to comment on.
If these seats are much more comfortable, then I cannot imagine what the others were like. I find them so hard and uncomfortable, I long to get back into my 406! I have seen a couple of 307s with leather seats but I've never had the opportunity to sit in one. I would like to know if they're as comfortable as the leather seats in the 406.
If they are, then I'll be on the lookout for a wreck with the leather seats.
I don't think so (RHR) as the radiator support assembly is different. Obviously the 9HZ is no good as it's completely different. To do it "properly" you would use the radiator support panel and intercooler from a late T5 with the RHR (if you can find one. Incidentally my sister had one - finding parts for it was at times a nightmare, as the parts as per service box never actually matched what was on the car. I had to replace the a/c compressor at one stage. 3 attempts through dealer all wrong even after removing the filter from SB, ended up going via part number on compressor, tecdoc for supercessions and then matched it from a manufacturer in Sweden of all places. Compressor output for pipes different due to it being shoehorned into a T5). But that's all you can use. The turbo is different between the 307 and 406, plus the turbo output is on a different angle. Can't use RHR pipes as they are completely different to RHY/RHZ as turbo is completely different. Even the pipework of a euro spec 307 RHZ is different - again due to the different turbo and boost output angle. I'm actually surprised that my assortment of modified 406 under engine pipes and home made brackets are still intact and haven't brokem off yet....need to get off me backside and have some proper pipes fabricated.Would the intercooler from a 307 HDi T6 be suitable?
