Wasn't me was it?

Bought mine in Jan 2010 for £1400 & sold in May 2012 for £1750. Mind, there was a fair bit more than that spent on upgrades & maintenance in my 2yrs of ownership. It does depend on how lucky you are with the original price though. I still see low mileage examples pop up now & again for £1500, but yo...

To be honest Rich, it depends on how fussy you want to be with it. For me it's an all day job that only I can do the way I like it as the car wash & hand car washes never get in behind the door shuts & light lenses etc. Jet wash is ok if you want to blast the worst of it off before you start hand wa...

Option A has to be to try to sell it. Even with the faults & you cherry picking the best bits off it, an estate with a years MOT has to be worth £500 of somebody's money. Option B however, is to break it, sell what you don't want, keep what is useful & then banger race the remainder! You can still g...

Best way to get a house is rent one off the council for a month or so then fire a R.T.B in, :supafrisk: If you get one. Round here it's all Housing Association & Right To Acquire is nowhere near as attractive a proposition as Right To Buy was when people were buying £120k houses for £25k. That''s n...

Rich has started a bit of a trend here.

Who's going to be the first to hit the 200bhp mark in their deFAPped HDi then...



& that 408 is basically a 308 saloon. Just looked at the pics & the interior is identical.

Until then it still thinks it needs to add the pigs wee and if it is low it will act accordingly. I thought the Eolys that Peugeot used was something else? The pig wee is just the Adblue that we put in the trucks. Had to watch a video on vehicle checks the other day & they even referred to it as th...

HDi don't believe it! Peak torque is 290ftlb (393Nm) at 2450rpm. (Manufacturer: 370Nm at 1500rpm but measured 290Nm.) I have a graph, but only on paper and my phone won't take a clear shot, so you'll have to wait while Monday when I can get one of the designers to scan it :cheesy: It has 100hp and ...

To Andover, apparently.

I might see it around then. Sell it to anybody I know?

Know I'll probably get shot for this, but I reckon you should just sell it Rich. You've bought the 407 now & you're only going to get stung for storage & insurance on the 406 with the added bonus of it possibly being a bit moody from being stored if you do try to use it again at a later date (seized...

Need a couple of tyres for the mondingo - 215/55/16 What do we reckon is a decent mid range tyre?? Seen some Toyo's on the bay for £75ish That doesn't sound right mate. Mine had 205/55 x 16s. Have you misread the size or is that what is on there as I reckon 205s should be cheaper as it's a more com...

Sonia - might be worth taking note before Miss Pug hits the used market!

My decision would rest on my impression of the owner. Whilst I'd quite happily buy a car from yourself Sam, I'd have serious reservations about buying from the guy that's modified it, but still can't manage to spell on his Ebay ad or has just left the various warning lights on because "it's a common...

Navigation stuff can wait till there's nothing left to fix / hell freezes over I know it sounds a bit like a backwards step, but I always figured that if I got a 406 with the later display & sat-nav I was going to fit the normal display as these later ones seem to lose lines for a pasttime & would ...

Thanks guys. Didn't realise anyone on here would know.

Happy birthday to DDD too. Who was the 3rd name then?
