It's not just a bit though, those 405s fly compared to the 406!!

my impression on it was the turbo wasn't particularly noticeable You evidently never ran the car in limp-home mode or with the turbo otherwise non-functional. The car's barely able to move without it no perhaps not, mine just didnt feel very quick though, but in fairness i got a dog, i much prefer ...

well im sure you will all be pleased to know im not selling my 406 now as im going to need a good cheap commuter still so the 406 fits the bill perfectly, my question though was, why is the 405 so much noticably faster than the 406?.

You'll be fine Puggy, after all there's not much left that you haven't replaced now :o Bet you can't wait for that superb a/c now :cheesy: I still sayte 406's a/c is THE best I've experienced 8) there is only 1 car ive driven thats had colder a/c than my 406, a 2003 Range Rover, it was absolutly fr...

Sorry I've been quite busy today so I didn't get a chance to pull it out and have a look which model it is, I will let you know tomorrow and take some pics.

Got my 406 up for sale, it's a good runner and drives well but is unfortunatly a Cat C due to rear bumper damage, the rest of the car is in good condition and it has passd its VIC check. Here is a link to my E bay auction for it so you can see some pics and full description, sensible offers invited....

LHD cars do seem to go for a premium now, european prices are higher than ours, maybe because they can export them to the old Eastern Block countries, Africa etc where as no one really wants RHD ones because it's only us,Ireland,Aus,Japan and a few other countries that drive on the left.

Hi, I have a spare compressor thats been sat in my garage for quite a while, I ordered it for a Xantia that I had at the time but its very likely to be the same as the 406 one, let me know if you're interested.

It's not dangerous at all and is still firmly attatched, it had already had a rear knock before so it's now looking worse, I just wanted to try and replace it at some point.I know what you mean about there being no green bumpers and then a load coming on E bay after youve bought a different colour, ...

oh bugger , the one on mine nows not hanging off or anything so i guess its just a case of waiting for the right colour on Ebay.

I don't think it would make any difference upping the power while running Veg, it would be the same as running Diesel I would have thought.

Preferably in metallic dark green can post a pic of my car if colour needs to be confirmed?, can't seem to find one anywhere at the moment.

Lucas pumps are a complete no go for Veg Oil and I believe that all 2.1s unfortunatly have them. I have a 1.9TD with a Bosch pump and have run it on a very high blend of Veg Oil/Diesel sincie I bought it a few months ago, at the moment probably about 80% SVO and 20% Diesel, when it starts getting co...

I had a Xantia Activa a while ago, got it very cheap, changed a driveshaft and away I went, my impression on it was the turbo wasn't particularly noticeable but from when I read up on them I gather you can up the boost pretty easily giving around 200BHP.As a preferance looking back on it now as thie...

Hello, new to the 406 forum, I've had many similar cars in the past though including Xantias, 405s and previously a 406HDI, currently got a 406 1.9TD and had a question about the rear bumpers on them, mine unfortunatly has suffered some damage and I was looking to replace it from a scrapyard or one ...
