Re: A vibration which isn't vibrating?

Steve/Captain Jack

Thanks for the replies. I will ask my garage to check these when the car is with them on Sat. I assume that the crank problem would be a very expensive repair?

A vibration which isn't vibrating?

Folks I've read through various entries on the site about various vibrations on a 406 HDI 110. Now, as I'm about as mechanical as plank of wood, I am none the wiser though do see many references to DMFs (and yes, i actually do know what that means :D ). Anyway, I got my 2001 110HDI Exec estate in De...

Re: No power to radio?

I have just taken ownership of a 406 Est Exec from recently deceased step-father-in-law. He loved his car and my mother-in-law asked my wife and I to take care of it. With a 7y...
