Thanks Dogslife- my first ever visit to servicebox reveals its an AL4 gearbox. I guess the lock thing doesn't work!

Hi folks once again i return to the fount of all 406 knowledge- or summit like that anyway! According to the good ol' Haynes manual, my car has the 4HP20 auto box as it doesn't have the park lock facility. So far so good except i cant find the auto trans level dipstick that allegedly goes with this ...

You could take one of those mobile kit M-F iso adapters and wire a few heat-shrink covered resistors in-line

Hi folks I've just fitted a clarion cd player out an 02 406 instead of my tape player but now the radio and cd are all way too loud. I think this may be connected to the upgraded amp fitted in my exec with the head unit coming from a non upgraded amp car. Does anyone know how to quieten it down a bi...

Thanks lads. The Octy's not been a bad car but the ride is very hard and its a bit noisy despite the turbo quieting down the exhaust noise. I'm so looking forward to sloughing about the place in comfort again :-)

Coming back to the fold! Hi folks just thought i'd say quick hello. I'm getting a 2000 406 exec 2.0 auto in January and i'm bound to be on here asking questions!! This will be my 3rd 406 having previously owned a '97 sri turbo and a 99 hdi estate. I've had a sporty octavia for the past 2 and a bit ...
