So? I got 2 too (bluddy D8

Umm, looks ok, just the usual thing - keep your wits about you and make sure everything works.
What's the PMS about? Shouldn't it be for your mrs?
Edit: I just noticed your post code on the ad - I know where you live

Re: 2x 406 In the same household?
Please dont come get me 
Its strange car, its got rear dics and pads? The wifes car is all of 6 months older and has drums?
Its also got chrome around the dials, better looking interior and ebony/paino black trim.
4x leccy winds, trip computer
... etc... Everything I wanted.
Only things is it needs a service and will need a new fos tyre as its on the wear markers... But I didnt get it for the sticker price lol.
Is a Rapier just a trim level?
Whats the blue colour called?
I notice today the estate 0.3 slower to 60 and does 3-4mpg worse then the saloon... im assuming the estate weighs more and isnt as drag co-effienct?

More the weight. So they're putting a cam belt on it but not giving it a service? Hokay.
Seems to be a trim level yes. No fake wood, some prefer it that way, doesn't bother me tho.
Umm, blue? Too light for china, too dark for sarcasm, I'm sure someone will know. Failing that give us the code and I'll tell ya.

I fink that's China blue.
Rear discs? weird! normally reserved for 110's can't see any point fitting discs at the factory just because of a few trim differences
If you really want it then offer to pay the extra (materials) for the water pump to be changed whilst they're down there and ask to see the old belt and tensioners when they're finished

Re: 2x 406 In the same household?
I'm half tempted to get a spares-or-repair hdi90 estate to compliment my v6 coupe... Been having a few half-arsed searches on ebay, but unsurprisingly all the ones under £300 seem to be happy shopper spec, which ain't what I want for doing the 1500+ mile treks to mainland Europe in :/
Might even take a C5...

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
