406 D9 saloon poor radio reception

This car is really starting to annoy me with minor niggles. Latest - the aerial had completely seized, and the inside metal part of the mast had rusted through. Got Peugeot to remove and fit a new mast (only £11 all in!). The reception on FM was good for at least 5 minutes, before it started soundin...

Just had a new aerial fitted to my 2002 D9 saloon at a Peugeot dealer. I was amazed, coz it only cost £11 for parts and fitting including VAT.

It was Howlett of Lavenham (near Sudbury). They were a dealership years ago, and the showroom still has the old Peugeot livery outside. The cost of servicing and cambelt change on my old 406 was always fine. The problem has now been fixed by what they did, not half measured like before.

406 D9 Hdi head gasket.

How unhappy am I? Just got a 406 Hdi to replace my 406 family 1.8. The Hdi on an 02 plate with 75,000 on the clock was showing the radiator warning light, so before I got the car, my father had put it into a peugeot dealer (it was his car!). They said it was just a sensor in the expansion tank, and ...
