Newbie 406 owner

Post by sammyv6 »

Hello everybody

Just bought a 406 that was traded in at my work for a run around car seiing as my reliable Honda has financialy kicked my in the balls once again :evil:


Strangley enough the only other owner lived four doors away from my house so i know its got a good history. But any way it is a 3.0V6 24v salloon in red with 116k and it has really suprised me as i paid £200 for it and it has not one serious fault. :mrgreen: Other than a battery and a door latch adjustment it has been such a pleausure to drive and feul :lol: Im sure you guys know the spec of theese as its quite large.

It is not my first pug though and im a hardend jap car fan so it has a lot to live upto in my opinion. Any way here is a little pic of the "frog" as its now named :lol:

And here is a previous pug i had 405 MI16x4

Hello and welcome to the club. I used to have a white Mi16x4 too. Absolutely loved it! Would love to get hold of another one again.

You got yourself a bargain there! I'm after one for the same sort of money to butcher and drop the engine, box, loom etc into my 309.

Hmm, whereabouts are you? Anywhere near the NE? Would need to find somewhere to store the car as we're in the process of trying to sell our house atm.
