Have been having problems with my electric windows and the electric mirrors, i noticed that opening closing the drivers door sometimes made things work
so i was fairly certain the drivers door loom had broken wires in the flexible bit between the door and A pillar
this is a guide on how i went about repairing my loom.
Choices i made before starting
Do i repair my current loom?
No as i only wanted to repair this once as it would take 2-3 hours
Do i use second hand parts?
the answer to me was to use new parts
the reasoning behind this is my car is a 2002 last of the 306's so any second hand parts would probably be in worse state than my loom
Do i use New parts?
Yes as i could justify the expense because i was saving on the labour cost by doing it myself
So a new repair door loom with plug was ordered from Peugeot
part no 6542 VQ Price £97+VAT retail i paid £79 total
today was the day i would set about my repair
Tools

first off i opened the drivers window opened the Bonnet closed the door and waited for the BSI to go into sleep mode then i disconnected the battery
unplug the door loom plug and compare it to one you are replacing it with
make sure you have the same pins or more
now to remove the door to gain easier access to the plug n wires,
unbolt the check strap and remove the 2 centre hinge bolts the door will stay unsupported,
try not to push the check strap into the door this will save you strugaling later
now hold door via internal handle and window frame and lift the door will lift off the hinge, place door down on soft ground to save paint damage
now you have easy access to the plug and grommet
