Does my car have... ? :|

[TurboDave]

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, does my car have power steering or an alarm? I'm recieving a 1996 406 2.0 turbo executive for free and was intersted to know if it does have power steering or an alarm, or any other information I might be interseted in? (Cheap engine tunes?)

If anyone has a list of the exact spec and figures for power as well that would be appreciated, but any help is always good.

~Ty very much

Kill the steering lock without the engine on and try to turn the wheel... Unless you're a bodybuilder, you might find it difficult.

As for alarm, you've got one of those too. Big button on the keyfob locks the door, then press the small one to activate the deadlocks and alarm. Big one opens again. Test it by using the key to open the drivers door a while after setting it. The alarm should sound.

go to http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com and put in your VIN to see the exact specs of your car. It's the 'characteristics' link you'll want.

Performance figures can be found here. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Det ... eriv=12723 The mpg figure given is about right for average driving. Extreme Grandad Driving can get you over 50mpg on the motorway, putting your foot down will get under 10mpg.

There will also be an immobiliser as well as an alarm, it's a CAT1 system.

Thanks a lot, really useful, don't actually have the car yet just trying to sort out insurance, which is why I needed to know.

Very useful, cheers
