Peugeot fuel gage indicator Phenomenon

This is how a fuel pump looks like. There are several types for different models of make but all performing the same purpose. They are immersed in the fuel tank which is right under the rear passenger seat.





The thin film resistor with the float assy will provide fuel level signal to the meter at the dashboard. This carbon film resistor wears out over time and will give you the "swing" effect thus inaccuracies.

I have not found a replacement part for this as I believed ( I could be wrong ) it comes together with the fuel pump unit.

Peugeot 406 Rear 3rd Brake light

There are many questions as to the versions of the Rear 3rd Brake light. Is it LEDs or using the old filament bulbs. Well, there are 2 types actually.

For the benefit of all I have the pics of both. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I personally like the LEDs ones as they consume less power and doesn't generate that much heat. The filament bulbs produces brighter light causing more heat that could warp the red plastic casing.

To replace the LEDs needs a little "spanner" know how. One will need to de-solder the burnt out LEDs and replace them using super bright ones which can be bought from electrical spare parts shops inexpensively.

As for the filament bulds replacement, it's easier by just pulling them off the housing and inserting them.

Both of the above requires careful removal of the whole light unit that are mounted on the roof. If you are not careful, you could break the whole casing. So do it with "passion"

Sunday Fun Drive

It starter out early at 9 am on the 8th Jul 07 at Seberang Jaya Mosque. A short briefing and the route map were given out.















The Road is wet. Probably just after a downpour. But the view of the surrounding green hills with low hanging clouds gives you a relaxing feel coupled with cabin temperature set at 23 degrees, IT IS COMFORTABLE !!!

I was going a bit too fast and did not get a better view of the bridge. But anyway, here it is. Maybe will do better next time.

I was following a Honda Stream that was going fast too. Here again the view gives you a sense of WoW feeling.

As we convoy into Lenggong. Notice the straight road infront ? Just too bad it's a double white line all the way .
