Accidental Fading of Paintwork - Scouring

Hi The paintwork on the wing mirrors of my HDI were in a bit of a state, so as a temporary measure I decided to spray them matt black. I masked everything up, and did the job last night. Took the masking/newspapers off and admired my handiwork. Today, I was admiring it again, when I noticed that lit...

Re: 2000 HDI Executive - Mystery Switch

That's the one. Thanks for all replies. I've only just bought this car. My last one for the last 4 years was a Mk 1 Peugeot 106, written off when someone smashed into me. With all the electrics in the 406, and really different driving feel, its kind of like going from a nippy roller skate to a battl...

Re: 2000 HDI Executive - Door Mirrors - Flat or Convex ?

my D8 has plain flat mirrors, both D9s have the convex blind spot ones. That might just mean that the d8 is a replacement tho. On the passenger side also, and with the vertical dots ? no, flat on the passenger side on all 3. But htere might be a dotted left hand drive one to be found? Thanks for th...

Re: Silent Radio + Duplicate Unit in Boot

Thanks for replies. Here's what happened. The next morning, I went down to the local shop, turned off the ignition, glanced at the central displays, and noticed a light behind the radio on/off knob. I turned the knob, and all of a sudden the radio was working. So, anyway, now it seems to work. Not s...

What Colour Leather in Executive : 2000 model

Hi Can anyone tell me what colour leather is the spec. for the 406 Executive HDI 110 ? Is it a particular leather colour paired with specific body paint colours, or was it a customer option? I'm particularly interested in the leather colour for the dark green (British Racing green ?) cars. The 2 tha...
