IT IS A 2.0L TURBO ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC CONDITION .
2 SMALL BURN MARKS ON DRIVERS SEAT 12 MONTHS MOT 6 MONTHS TAX AND A CONDITION TO DIE FOR .
THE ALLOYS ARE ALL UNMARKED IT HAS 4 NEW TYRES A COMPLETE NEW EXAUST SYSTEM .
EVERY SINGLE SWITCH WORKS(THERES A FIRST) EVERY LIGHT EVERYTHING IT HAS A SONY 10CD CHANGER FITTED .
I HAVE HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF CARS IN MY 35YRS OF DRIVING BUT THIS IS EXCEPTIONAL.
I WILL CHERISH THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME AND I PAID £525.00 FOR IT .
I AM NOW HOOKED ON MY 406 AND LOVE TO SHOW IT OFF .....DES

Hi Des, welcome to the club. Firstly let me just remind you that the "Caps Lock" key has two states - "On" and "Off"

What year is your 406? Is it a petrol or a diesel model?

Also, if you love to show it off, we'd love to see photos!

Cheers
Graeme

Maybe he's shouting because he's excited?

Hangar18 has a 2.0 turbo, went in it at the meet last August. That thing is fast!

Hi, Des & welcome to the forum.

Hi des, welcome aboard. If its the 2.0 petrol turbo you have, look after it well. These will be getting rare as time goes on. They really are a great car, comfortable with decent handling. One of the best value for money cars around.
Take care of it and it'll look after you.

Well you say that, but a certain Administrative member on here was found to have run his 2.0T in excess of 40,000 miles without an oil change.......but with no problems

Kept standard, they're a lazy long-living engine but tuning them requires careful thought and safeguards in fact in takes a huge amount of time and money to squeeze just another 50bhp from them and it won't be reliable without beefed-up cooling, injectors, head gasket, turbo refurb............

At least I didn't try to give it more powah... that would have probably been insta-death I did run it up to the rev limiter 20 minutes before it was scrapped though, probably for the first time in its life. Almost daily occurrence now with the V6
