206 shakes while idle

37,000 miles on the clock - not sure if they have ever been changed

One thing - does the standard factory fitted radio have a security code? Had a look in the manual and cant find one anywhere. Dnt want to disconect the battery and then find out my radio needs a code!

I disconnected the battery on mine in order to recharge it and did not need a code for the radio after reconnecting.

The Hayes manual says it needs a code if you dis-connect the battery. Is this only on the older models?

Mine is a 2004

The owners manual says that the radio is coded to only work in a particular car and that no intervention by the user is required.

Funnily enough, I have just taken my Picasso off the road and was considering disconnecting the battery. In the manual for that it says the radio requires a code but apparently this is untrue, like the Pug the radio is coded to only work in the car it was fitted to.

Get one of the other guys to confirm but this is my experience.

I'm in Bolton BTW, might see you around!

As Thar says, no code needed. Your car will recognise its own radio.

Plugs are about due then, from memory I think they are scheduled for a change at 40,000 miles or 4 years, whichever comes soonest. Check in your service book.

Cheers dudes - may give the plugs a go tonight and home that the vibrations in idle stop

Already changed the fuel filter but it made no difference

How easy is it to change the spark plugs? I thought it would be pretty easy but there seems to be some casing protecting them - maybe the coil system???

I have an 04 plate

The coil pack sits on top of them you'll need to unbolt this to get at the plugs. Shouldn't take you long. Just be careful not to strain or break anything.

You may find this helpful. Maybe not exactly the same as yours but will give you the idea.

Register on the forum then. Only takes a minute.
Undo cover - 6 torx screws. Undo coil pack, lift away from plugs, remove plugs.

Cheers dude - works a treat - take it I should only use the Bosch ones?

Maybe unconnected but these problems sort of co-incided with me doing an oil change. Think they could be connected or just a co-incidence?

Saw the link before but not 100% sure which plugs he means are correct. The Bosch FR8SE or FR8SC+

What oil and filter did you use?
Total Quartz 5w-40 Fully Synthetic and the genuine Peugeot-Citroen filter I hope.
Did you get the level correct, and not overfill it?

Look at post #9 here

I would take your plugs out and examine them. If they are Bosch you will see which type specifically. The problem may become more apparent if they are wet with oil. Did you spill any oil on the top of the engine when refilling?
