I've got a 306? Knob here.
Think it may be a PH3 306 knob. Not sure.
It's attached to my breaker 205 stdt and doesn't belong there.

Cheers but I think there's a bloke on the 405 FB page that can supply them new still, not sure how much tho... I might have to buy two just in case the SRDT one decides to fall to bits too?

Jakebullet from the beige does pool ball gear knobs drilled and threaded to your car for £7 or £8 posted. Any colour.
I've had three or four 8 balls off him. The 107's got one, very tactile.

Yep, seen those but I'm not a dubber The bloke on FB has got back to me, genuine NOS for 10 quid more than a pool ball. I just need to find someone who does paypal for me so I can give them the cash. I need to do something as the other one is totally destroyed, I think I need a bird, grip must be getting too good?

[paulplom]

I'll paypal him for you.

[Scruffy Bodger]

I'll paypal him for you.

Cheers but I've no way of paying direct online setup at the mo. I fucked Lloyd's off a while back and haven't bothered since.

I've bodged it for now, we'll see how long it takes to fracture somewhere else. I'm assuming it's a UV related issue?

Making use of the Tardis 405. Same place as before but with a massive L shape settee with 4 lazy boy chairs built in. A judicious use of a large knife on the seat back cushions and it only just fitted in, literally having to bend the roof trim to get it in. 3 trips to the tip to get rid of it all but now it's out of his life. There's no way it would have gone in the V50.

Rear boot struts ordered for 16 quid all in as I'm pissed off with propping it with my head and so far my knob's not fallen off again.

A 306 owner at the tip came over exclaiming that my Peugeot was older than his. He then goes on to say he keeps expecting to scrap it but it's gone thru the last 3 MOT's no problem. Finally he says it's a diesel and it's been faultless all the time he's had it so he doesn't service it as it just keeps going. Sure there's some logic there somewhere? Twat.

Servicing harms them. I used to service the transhit every six months/5k.

If it ain't broken don't fix it?

I'm sure there's some logic there somewhere? Not that I can think of any but there must be?
