hi all,just joined the forum...and i'm a new owner to the 406 as well my names' Mike and i''m from Merseyside.
just picked up my car today,always liked the cars to look at,so decided to buy one as a replacement for my Mondeo 2.0 Ghia which i've had for a while and have decided to sell..
the 406 i have bought is i think something of a rarity as i've not seen many of this model for sale[and i looked at loads of cars during my search]-it's a facelifted car,2001 year,SRi 2.2 petrol saloon,with half-leather seats,and in a lovely metallic blue[maybe someone can tell me what the colour is called].it has just 53k from new with full Peugeot service history and 1 owner,in immaculate condition throughout,and came with 12 months mot and 6 months tax on it too.
to be on the safe side,i'm putting it in for a service, and timing belt change next week,as theres no record in the history of the belt being changed-i believe the interval on these is 80k but with the age of the car i think its good practice to change it now to be safe!!
i'll post some pics once i've figured that out!!

Welcome to the club Mike
2.2 SRi is a nice mowtah , enjoy it!
Yeah the timing belt is 80K or 8 years, so it's about due, gotta get mine done early in the new year, been quoted about £250 for just the belt fitted and an extra £150 for a service .

Welcome aboard Mike
