Re: Hi To All
Hi & welcome aboard.
'Cos we're 406 anoraks, we're duty bound to tell you to do a bit of research and choose the right spec first time...
We all have different opinions on which is best.
Main thing seems to be know your gadgets / make sure they all work and/or haggle.

Re: Hi To All
Thanks for all the welcomes. I have just got in from buying one which I will pick up tomorrow. A 1998 2.1 GLX. Everything works, and has just had belt and waterpump changed. Nice long MOT (Sep) and at the right price.
Now I just know you are going to tell me all the bad things about the 2.1, so will don tin hat and duck down into trench.

Re: Hi To All
Never driven a 2.1, but all the owners speak highly of them.
Get some pics posted when you can.

Re: Hi To All
Yes, the 2.1 owners say they are good, and the ones that sold them on seem to want them back! Its a good choice

Re: Hi To All
Totally agree, I loved my 2.1TD. Fantastic engines ("boringly reliable" as someone on here said).
Let us have some pics when you get a chance, this was mine

Re: Hi To All
i used to own a xantia 2.1td estate which is the basically the same car as a 406 ,was one of the best cars i've owned ,i had a chip in the ecu which made it a bit quicker and also better on fuel.
