Hi I'm Paul, just thought I'd say hello!

I've recently bought a 2002 306 Hdi estate in China blue with 78k miles. The previous owners didn't look after it very well mechanically so I've been busy recently getting it up to scratch with new brakes all round, front springs, exhaust and a full service. I've just got the timing belt, water pump and crank pulley to replace when I find some free time.
It's my second 306, so I'm familiar with most things. My last one was a 1996 p-reg 1.9DT.

This one does have an Airbag and handbrake light fault so I'm hoping I can find the fixes from you lot here.

Cheers Paul.

Welcome bud.

Have you got any pics of her?

[Vpricey]

I can't find the ones I had, I'll take some more once I've gave it a wash. It's a Meridian with half leather, cyclone wheels and a/c.

Sounds nice!

Does the AC still work? Lol!

Hello and welcome along

[aircool]

Work AC is stuff of legends on these, one of my favourite combos: Ph3 Meridian and China Blue (bit of a posh pug!).

Welcome to the forum matey.

Thanks guys, no the A/C doesn't work I think, it has been cold though. Prob need a regas!lol.

Whether or not it will hold it, who knows, worth a punt if a local air con centre has an offer on

Its surprising how many cars actually do get the AC back after a regas, just need to choose wisely.

Planning any mods?

Any connection to Aairecool? It's a local hvac company to me, my cousin Baz use to work for.

A few small things, wheels need refurbed, air bag light is on, so I think it's the connectors under the seat from what I've read? The handbrake light won't go out. Not found out what that is yet. It's mot time soon, but a part from that just clean it up.

No connection, no idea how I came with this nick (only been using it a decade :S).

Someone did I ask if I had a slew of air cooled dubs, definitely not!

Air bag light on all the time or flashing?

Got enough brake fluid?

[Vpricey]

Air bag comes on and stays on. Not all the time though.

Yip plenty brake fluid, that was the first thing I checked

Welcome from a relative newbie. Kwikfit for AC. You don't pay if it doesn't work.
