The thing about forums is that people are always looking for help, most threads appear 'cos someone's got a problem, you don't get people starting a thread to say that everything's fine . So don't worry if you look in here and it appears that the 406 has lots of problems, they generally don't and are actually far less troublesome than most other similarly aged cars.
I think i may need a new clutch - any kind mechanic in reach of Southampton want to give me a quote will be very welcome.

Human nature is to gripe and moan.
Most don't go into work and discuss with work colleagues that everythings going great, no doubt most of us gripe about bills, the weather, roadworks, bad TV, bad customer service etc.

Something very wrong here - This man speaks the truth!
Does this mean that we're a nation of cynical b@stards? *For me it seems to be coming on more with age!!*
