We are looking for new gear linkage rods - does anybody know of where to buy them reasonably?

Many thanks

Hey.

The problem with the 206cc is alot of parts tend to be dealer only with silly prices.
The best thing to do is look at find a part sites on the web but not ebay. ebay tend to be used parts and you may find
the same problem you had.

My daughter has just had all 3 replaced on her 405 Estate. Cost £55 + VAT through a Peugeot indy.

You will prob find that it was £55 + vat with it being a 405 estate.
Prices tend to be more on cc cars.
I paid £95 for a rear engine mount dealer only

We have found some on Ebay, £45 for all three rods, new ones made from stainless steel.
I will let you know if they are any good when they are fitted

I finally got around to fitting them today, sorry for the delay

Anyway, they are not hard to fit as long as you can get under the car. A pit is best but it can probably be done with the car on ramps.
All you need is a couple of large pry bars about 18" long and a hammer. The old ones "pop" off but the new ones are popped on then held in place with a wire type clip.
They needed no adjustment just a smear with some copper grease before fitting.
It has made a big difference to the gear knob movement

its still not "rally car gear selection" but no more guessing what gear you are going to get

So the 3 for my daughter's car fitted at £55 weren't bad then. Stainless steel ones would be more expensive I guess.

Glad your car is much improved too now.
