Goodbye and thanks for the help
So it is time to say Goodbye folks and thanks for the superb advice - I have now sold my Pug 406 and am driving another car (secret! ) All I can say is although I have not met any of you, your friendliness and helpfulness has been very much appreciated. May you have many more happy miles driving your Pugs (and I will give you a wave as I zoom past )
Cheers

Do tell!Anyway, don't be a stranger - there's even moderators on this forum who don't drive 406s any more; apparently you don't need to own one to be in the owners' club

No doubt we'll be seeing you inches from our back bumpers.
One tip I can give to Bayern Motor Werke users - the stalk on the left, move down to let others know that you want to move left and move it up to let others that you want to move right. Don't let the old COM2000 scare you off using it.
