The bottom engine mount needs attention but would that always happen at 2100revs?

406 1.9 glx dt Everything appears fine with the car except that i dont know what this is.. When the revs reaches the 2100 mark, the engine seems to vibrate louder and it vibrates through the accelerator pedle, and the pedle seems lighter to press, as if its hardly there at all except for the vibrati...

This is the blokes fault listing that he put on ebay - From what I can gather it needs a new bottom engine mounting (on sale on Ebay for £9.99) And I think a new oil sump, as it appears the previous owner has a done some sort of repair on it but it is still leaking. Found this out today when I took ...

I would ring Consumer Direct for advice....08454040506. As far as i'm aware, any vehicle sold, from a garage or a private individual, has to be roadworthy, allegedly, in this case, the car appears to be unroadworthy and unsafe. I will be giving them a ring first thing tommorow and see what they say...

Ok, here goes.. Bought a 406 on 23rd sept went and collected it and bought it home. Long story short, I had a mobile mechanic come and check it out yesterday because something just isnt right with it. He is amazed that something hasnt got majorly wrong while ive been driving it and i havnt had an ac...

RESULT! no need for the diagnostic thing now. OH just went n had a look under the bonnet n had a mess. Turns out the fault is one of the wires on the connector that goes onto the fuel pump had come off the connector. He has now soldered the wire back on and VOILA! The light has gone off and everythi...

Took it for a drive round the block this morning to show the OH what it is doing. I still think it sounds like it has a rattle and the diagnostic light is still on but it doesnt seem to blowing much if any smoke out now. I even gave it a bit of wellie down the local industrial state and it 'seems' f...

My cars really do love me... not. Driving my car tonight and the engine diagnostic light has come on the dash. It started off coming on n going off, then eventually stayed on permenantly. I did notice that when it came on the engine sounded different, like a rattly type noise? Anyway, on the way hom...

I couldnt find any procedure in the hand book. I did find other posts though. Sorted it by putting the key in ingition and pressing the A button. Now it works every time! Next job is to figure out if/how i can get the alarm working! Aparantly it has got an alarm on it but i dont know if it works or ...

The last owner of the car said the remote central locking did work but it worked intermitently. He said the key just needed new batteries. Ive bought new batteries and put them in, although the little red light comes on the key, nothing happens to the car. Ive tried it a number of times (even before...

Thankyou for the welcome!
