Hello

[scudriderdude]

Thought I'd better join as I just purchased a 406 HDi estate in Rapier trim. 2001 with 92K, part service history, runs well and I'm enjoying it

Hi & welcome aboard.

Looking very tidy there.
(that bit of trim is easily replaced, just clips in).

Thanks, its not bad at all, wants a front fog light, and that bit of missing trim and some of the in bumper chrome bits are missing. it has a few scuffs and stuff, but for £625 its pretty good

Hi, welcome

My first 406 was a red one too - the 406 doesn't seem to turn pink with age like other red cars do. I bought it 7 years ago for £800 as it had a new MOT, tyres, clutch and exhaust - the downside was the stench of dog which wouldn't shift, even after 2 years. If I had known then what I have learned from the forum now I would have swapped bits over and sorted it out, but I didn't so I sold it...

I am now on my 3rd 406 viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22036 which still has some issues but I don't keep on top of them as I only use it every couple of weeks..

Please add your location to your profile so maybe nearby members can help out where necessary.

Will add my location.....

Thanks for the welcome

We also have a Clio 182 Sport, and the difference in performance and fuel usage is huge - the clio even if driven easy only does 29mpg, i think the 406 is going to manage 45 - 50mpg on short stuff around home, not bad really...............
