Another bargain!

Exhaust tip's hanging kinda low too, isn't it? I know it's a diesel and the tip is turned down, but it looks like it might need a new exhaust hanger.

Actually, the auction is for *two* 406 HDi's - this one, and his daughter's one. The wording in the ad is slightly ambiguous but it suggests it's his daughter's 406 that has the brake fault.

If someone buys this, then they will have a gold 406 with nearly a full year's ticket, and a spares car (or one that can probably be repaired without much work).

Pet peeve: the photos don't show the registration, so I can't look it up on the MOT history checker. The photos don't show the extent of the rust on the sill. The photos appear to have been taken using a camera with potato resolution, presumably from about 10 - 15 years ago, so details of bodywork dings and rust are hard to make out. Also, no photos of the other car at all.

Seems to me that members on here with a good known 406 should hang onto it.....

Brake servo test I thought was to pump the brake pedal hard with engine off...start engine....pedal will sink a bit....but not hit the floor obvs.

I don't know what the problem could be unless the replacement MC has been fitted wrong or is leaking. It shouldn't really be too bad to fix.

Think it depends if it's got brake assist or not - http://www.406oc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... ink#p41842

Ooh, another Dangel. Hold on, wtf is this?

None of your usual classic frog action here, instead I give you a...

Vauxhall Combo Cargo 2300 1.5 Turbo D 130ps 4X4 "DANGEL" H1 Sportive Van

Yuck!

18,000 Miles

Must be fun to drive

£27,594.00

I'm sure it's worth every penny... Lordy, how much blurb? I managed 1 line.

I guess if nothing else Dangle are still about. And they're not proud.

Also, it looks like Network Q is rebranding as "Spotty Car", how, er, something.

Chrisps - that's expensive! "Dry-stored"...

Evening young man, nice to hear from you again.

Does look amazingly tidy, shame it's a 2.0 petrol slushmatic.

[Captain Jack]

Glad to see some old faces here still. Did anyone do a meetup this year?

I am actually surprised it's being bid that high! If you do a wheeler dealer, you can rip out the slushy and put in a ...stiffy?

[Doggy]

Precious few of us around still.

I missed a couple of the Prescott outings, then covid.
Not been any meets since AFAIK

Guess an actual gearbox would improve it no end if you could get round the engine management issues.

Hello chaps! I'm still about, although most of the time I start replies and.... you know.

Pug looks good, dry stored? What, like on purpose? Late car should be a ZF I do believe, should be ok. Ditching it and getting the ecu to cooperate, hmm, might be easier to get ecu, bsi etc. from the breakers (Or doughnut car).

Yoyo currently just shy of 170,000km (115k miles), it's "oh my god it's going to explode at any moment!" slushmatic transmission refuses to die.
