TINY boot! :shock:

I do like the rear vents, they're nice. Reckon a 407 instrument cluster would fit in a 406 if I could wire it up and get it speaking on the VAN bus? :twisted:

The front bumper looks different to how I remember 407s to be, wonder if they've done a facelift...

I don't think the saloon's boot is particularly small - how many bodies does it hold Jasper? :wink:

The estate though, a disappointing four max. I reckon I could get at least 8 in my estates. More if I cut their legs off.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The boot is a little strange, I understand why people think it small, but the seats go down and make it bigger, plus the rear end is a bit like the old Xantia...a bit short.

I noticed earlier that the central locking activates automatically a few seconds after moving off, you can overide it by pulling a door handle.

You can do that with D9s by toggling an option in the BSI using the dealer tool :) You may be able to do it with earlier D9s too, but I chickened out of playing with the locking system with me sitting in the car :lol:
