Ok , got the drive side cup out , it came out by turning it clockwise as I faced it . I tried to put a spare british thread drive side cup in and it fitted! , so i think thats it then , British thread it is , that makes everything nice and simple , thanks to all above who shared their time and knowledge on a tricky peugeot issue , looking forward to getting this bike road ready .
