Just got my self 2.1 glx £290 mot and tax drives lovlely 160 k tidy car I will upload pics later few jobs. To
Do change my half leather trim from the old one black door cards and glove box just serviced last night needs a wishbone and cambelt kit. Apart from that it's perfect 1 problem though starting is a issue the guy said it was glow plugs but it ent it fires up and cuts out straight away but if I give it a little throttle it will stay running with a bit of a grumble ? I'm gonnna change glow plugs anyway but I was thinking this could be Air ?

At that price you've not got much to complain about

Possibly air yes - Try pumping the squeezy thing before you start it.

Ye I have and it stayed running longer than it would with out doing it but still cut out I was wondering if 2 glow plugs could be gone as well as air ???? I got a spare prime build on me 1.9 I'm stripping. When it's running it's like a brand new car no knocks bangs anything it's been well looked after by a family for 12 years so I can't moan

i would say its air as well the glow plugs are doing there job as the engine is starting,still wont hurt to change them.well done for buying the best 406 engine.

I'll get some pics up got far bit of work to do with the interior and for multi changer get it

I would have a look at the brake caliper shown in your picture....it has the look of a classic overheated brake, possibly caused by a sticking caliper.....the disc is pinkish in colour.

Of course it could be from a previous situation, but I would check it.

i got to do them all to be honest plus im gonna spray them up one of the bks is catching and i think i got a warped disk as well witch could be the one u can see once it stops raining long enough ill strip them down

so far so good runs like a dream just a few bits of body work to do apart from that its has camblet kit water pump new rocker gasket and inlet manifold rubbers full service 2 wishbones new crank sensor and thats all it needed not bad for £290 i have replaced interior fitted non smoking kit,multi changer fitter and few odds and ends just got to order my spacers for my wheels and coil overs then off to the body shop she goes

Looks nice, I love the colour. Total bargain for less than £300 as well That interior is very nice indeed, I want one...
