OK so you have a 405 XUD9 4 door saloon with non-metallic paint. With Power steering, without ABS brakes, with a sunroof, and tinted glass all round, electirc front windows, no air con and simple central locking. You need a 515G3. Diameter 156mm 6 ribbed belt. Do you want it? How we gonna do this? I live in Gloucester and you live in Addlestone. I could send it to you though I have no idea how much the postage would be at the moment. Cost of the part is around £95 including VAT. As for the steering gaiters. Yes the O/S is easy. I do recall doing a N/S one years ago and it was hell. I used the peugeot boot and after much cussing and swearing managed to stretch it over the ram fixing. Not a job I would want to do as a cobble!
Hold on Nigel.A mate of mine said he might have one in his shed which he got for his 405 2 years ago, just got to check it out first to see if it will fit , the car was the same as mine so if i keep my fingers crossed it might fit. so the pass side is a pain to fit. no easy way of doing it?that ram bolt sticks out some way.
No easy way that I know of. I do remember that the boot was very tight over that fixing, and I think I used a hot air gun to warm it up and keep it flexible. I guess a hairdryer would do too.
Difference is that this is Chris's own car. I find the same thing, people come to me for a solution to a computer problem and I fix it every time, but if something goes wrong with mine..............
I got a son who does all my fixing,he is a i.t wizz.done all the courses and passed them all which he is very pleased,so if any body needs any help give us a e,mail and he should be able to help.if your local we can even call round ,
