Peugeot I think on a 3R depending on when they were switched by the factory, early cars were metro IIRC.

605 rings a bell for some reason but best to get a dealer to take a look and see what they match up to.

According to an old factory invoice of mine they are off a Citroen Xantia and have a part number of QSJ1184S.

With a quick 'google' that part number is a Quinton Hazell (aftermarket) part number and so you will get these from most motor factors. I think they are also as fitted to the Citroen C5/XM as well as Peugeots 405/406/605/607.

Hope that helps.

You'd think so but that is what the Noble factory use themselves.

Also QH parts are often better made than the OE items (I replace loads of track rod ends with QH ones on rally cars for e.g.)
