New User from Liverpool - 406 2.0 Petrol Turbo
Hi All,
Just bought this for my Mrs. Not a bad car but have a few questions which I will post in the relevant section.
About registering - no gmail, understood, but we are told to post in the 'public' forum. No such thing found or im blind. I used another email address but will hope to change this to my gmail if possible?

Welcome Chaz!
I don't know about the Gmail restriction but your first 5 posts need to be approved then you can post freely. This is an antispam measure because we were being clobbered

Thanks. Ye, when I tried to reg with gmail account it says that its been disabled due to ongoing spam issues. Understood - just a pain as im sure many others use it as primary personal email.
That said - 2 more posts and I can post freely - woot.

Thanks - appreciate the welcome.
I hope many happy miles with this car and I must say I am impressed thus far. Will do a first drive tomorrow to the office - only 10 miles or so but looking forward to it ....

Ooh, same as mine bar the engine. Definately the best colour!
See the link in my sig below for what I'm up to with mine. You may get a few ideas if you're that way inclined.

Re: New User from Liverpool - 406 2.0 Petrol Turbo
Cheers. I see mine has a spoiler on the boot. Is this factory standard?
Re: New User from Liverpool - 406 2.0 Petrol Turbo
Also - how did you remove the vinyl from the pillars? This one looks OK apart from one that has bubbled, so would rather remove I think.
