Hi All Another quick question. Since owning my 2001 406 2.0 HDi L the trip computer has never displayed anything other than zero's as you cycle through the different info with the button on the end of the stalk. Having removed the multoi function display to replace a bulb I noticed a grey connector ...

Hi all,, Recently my blower fan on my 2001 406 HDi stopped working overnight and after posting on here it was suggested that the fan motor had possibly failed. I have now had the fan removed and tested and it is working fine. I have checked the fuses ( although my handbook does not seem to match the...

Hi All, Driving along merrily today on the M69 when the rev counter and speedo dropped to zero and the mileage/ trip display disappeared briefly. When it came back on the mileage had jumped up over 360000 miles. Any ideas - the MOT is due next week and a recorded mileage of nearly 400000 miles won't...

Hi All , Getting the D9 sorted out slowly one fault at at time and then the clutch gave up the ghost. Been running fine since then till today when the blower fan for the ventilation failed to work as soon as I started the car this morning. It was fine yesterday on my trip to leeds but dead as a dodo...

Hi All, Still quite new to the 406 and on a learning curve. If I turn the ignition to position 1 ( acessory) the offside indicator flashes irrespective of the position of the column stalk. It can be cancelled by moving the stalk up or down or somewaht strangely by operating the drivers electric wind...

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies - will have to get the car looked at asap if it is a pressure problem. Beginning to wonder if the mileage is genuine but will take that up with my mates dad who sold me the car. The car is so immaculate inside it feels low mileage but the few faults that are becomi...

Hi All, Still on a learning curve with the 406 2.0 L 90 HDi I bought in December. Have just come back from a trip to France and apart from a minor bump (no damage thankfully) the car ran very well but my mpg on the trip worked out around 42 mpg - lower than I expected or am I being unrealistic - mos...

Thanks for the reply - I was not looking for a specific fuse just wanted to know where box was. I have only just purchased the car from my mate's father and a few problems have come to light ( trip computer not working, Air con not working, Speedo dropping to zero for 2/3 mins and back up again). Ma...

Hi All, Just a quickie - I have no handbook for the 406(2001) have recently inherited - I am looking for the passenger compartment fuse box - I have searched the footwells on pass/driver side looking but to no avail. There is a recessed black cover to the right of the steering wheel in th dash. It i...

Hi All, Thanks everybody for the info - looks like it starts with a re-gas . The outside temps been about 9/10 degrees so fingers crossed its low gas. On making further enquiries about the car ( which has only travelled 19000 miles since new) the aircon has rarely been used since new. Thanks again f...

Hi All, New to the club and the 406 but the info so far has been very helpful. I have one quick question - I bought the car from a good mate who said aircon worked fine but having now tried it the air does not get colder when switched on so I suspected it needed regassing. However when the a/c butto...

Hi All, New to the 406 fraternity . Just aquired a 2001 2.0 HDi (90) L spec fitted with the standard clarion radio/cd. Just put cd in for first time - played ok - then stopped car and restarted it about 15 mins later - display came up cd but found no tracks. Pressed eject - whirring and clicking sou...

Hi All, New to the world of 406's - just taken ownership of a 2001 2.0 HDi (90) L spec. I have no handbook for the vehicle but there is a trip computer button which when pressed cycles through various mpg/ fuel figures but just shows dashes where the numerals should be. The date shows correctly. Is ...
