Wow! that's very very tidy 8)

Unfortunately with a Peugeot slush-matic gearbox I wouldn't even touch it :cry:

I'm not selling it, just saw it on auto trader. Are those auto gearboxes really that bad? Are they not tiptronic?

They're just not built to take the V6's power output. There used to be quite a few threads to that effect on here before the hacking incident

I realise, I was just trying to break the url down so I could find it myself, that's when I spotted your post code.

Ps mine's 10454, if that makes you feel any better :cheesy:

They can't handle the power of the 1.8 let alone the 3.0 :(

I think the auto box on the 406 was an old outdated very fragile piece of kit which suffers badly if it's fluid isn't religiously changed (which Peugeot say is sealed or life) :roll:

I dont think it has the wrong wheels although I know what you're saying. My lx has the same alloys as the early d9 executives which I think look much better. And as for the spoiler: I think they can look ok if they are discreet spoilers unlike that one.
