Handbrake cable appears to have snapped today... either that or just disconnected somewhere... I'll have a look underneath come weekend. Still chugging along with the anti-pollution problem popping up every now and then, but car has done 2000 miles since Jasper had a look at it for me. Thanks for th...

Well after a good few hundred miles it still hasn't had the smoke and death problem... However, it now seems to come up with an antipollution fault regularly which puts it into limp mode... The difference with this is that the limp mode is still able to get you up to reasonable speeds to get off a m...

Its really odd.... Over 100 miles and still going fine...

Well, just been over to see jasper and he very kindly plugged his computer into my car only to receive the error message of "pp2000 unknown reference ecu being referenced" It did find a fault on the ABS and a few faults on the BSI which mainly seemed to be dodgy cable faults and were cleared. The co...

Have just tried plugging a reader in to the car and as sods law would have it there is a communication error between the car and the reader. On further inspection it seems that the 406 diesel isn't odb2 compliant? Is this the case? :cry: If so, I could really do with someone friendly who has a reade...

Thanks for that jasper. Fingers crossed we find something tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to limp over to see you lol.

Just got my 406 on the weekend and it's already poorly sick... Can't understand how there would be a thing wrong with it.... It's only done 338,000 miles after all... Only just broken in isn't it?

Cheers guys. I'm near Walkden, Greater Manchester. It turns out my brother-in-law has a diagnostic thingy to plug into the car (wish he'd told me earlier lol), so am borrowing that tomorrow. Hopefully, that will show some error codes to shed some light on the issue... Don't know how good it is, so w...

Woo. have a computer coming tomorrow to read any error codes on the engine... watch this space.

Just to add to the tale.... Went out in it just now after engine has had chance to completely cool down and it started fine and drove about 500 yards just fine. Then power cut out again and struggled to get more than 1500 revs in first gear with lots of smoke out the exhaust. Turned engine off, left...

Hi everyone, My name is Rob and this last weekend I became the proud owner of a 406 2.0 HDI (2002 model). Woo!?! Well not so much. Seems that my first post on here is going to be one of woe I'm afraid :-( I have had a look about on the t'interweb and can't find anything particularly definitive to he...
