At the risk of sending old timers on the site round the twist again...Model: 406 Executive Estate DT 2088 CC Registered 12 January 1998. Multi Function Display just below central air vents----Bulbs or Leds??..and can the unit be eased out with the all purpose screwdriver safely to check?
Top engine now knows its done 129K! Tappets -adjustable or not?
Many thanks folks for your patience
Definitely bulbs and the display eases out, yes. May be easier with the removal of the adjacent switch. It is the Mark 1 406?? Or is it the Mark 2 with no switches next to the display. In which case there are two blanks either side of the display which hook out, and you'll see 4 Torx 20 screws holding the display in. Either way it is bulbs. Just check that the bulbs come out of the holder. Sometimes they are integral with the holder and you need the complete thing. Part number is 611260 and you need 2 for the Mark 1 and 3 for the Mark 2.
As for the tappets. If you mean the 2.1 diesel with 12 valves then they are hydraulic. The 1.9 has shims.
And as a follow on, the ones that Halfords sell don't fit in my 1998 model. They look similar but project too far out at the back. Pug/Citroen ones are a tad more expensive but of course they do fit.
