Hi everybody

[jay8086]

Hi all,

Thought I best say hi to everyone and say how useful and friendly everyone seems, very few patronising answers which is nice, after all we only ask because we want to know more I found a few things I wanted to know here.
Currently got a Diablo Red 1.6 Meridian, but that will soon be going due to some [blank] in an L200, but she will be replaced with a Diablo Red 1.8 16v Meridian
First question on here is where do I find someone to fit second hand parts cheap? I can usually trace a problem and rip the part off a scrapped car but would feel far better having someone who's played with 306's for a while to fit stuff. Any of you guys do car work on driveways in Oxford? lol.
Anyway nice to meet you guys.

Thanks Matt. The new 306 barely needs anything doing to it, only abs module and a DAMN good clean hopefully. Certainly happy with a Y reg 1.8 16v Meridian for £250

Welcome to the forum There are a few of us just off the M40 in towards London who are regularly about and fitting/fixing something with these. You could always come along and learn a thing or two and we can give you a hand We're meeting at Ace Cafe in London on the 4th of August, come down and say hi!

Hi Andy,

First I'm gonna man up a bit and try fitting a new ABS module / pump myself , but if that doesn't work i'll soon be back lol. I'm not sure my 306 is quite up to show / meet standard but I love her and some sorta club meet sounds good.
I got a couple of questions, when I swap the ABS pump I was going to take some pics and write some notes. My plan is to then write some sorta 'this is how i did mine' sorta manual for those wondering what the underside of stuff looks like without ripping it off first. I figure it should be of some use since it seems the ABS module failing isn't uncommon. How should I post / upload it, and where would be the best place?

Thanks,

[jay8086]

Oops, sorry Scott, not sure where I got Andy from, my bad lol. Anyway if its of interest to anyone I will be changing the Bosch 5.3 ABS pump in my 306 tomorrow and have started writing a guide. If its of interest / use can one of you guys give me advise on where to post it and how to include the pics in the right places. Not sure how sucessful it'll be but i'll keep updating Fingers crossed lol.
