Be honest boys, how much work will this lot cost? It's a nice 2.2, and being an exec it has the working puddle lights and electric seats...
I drove past it last week and admired it's condition as we went by.... there were no 'for sale' signs on it whatsoever..... Just on the off chance I'm looking on eBay I've found it....

That looks lovely, it'll be a bargain for someone ( RWB maybe ) .......

[Captain Jack]

Get it. Won't take much to get it on the road.

[Sonia406]

At the end of the day I want a loud kick ass exhaust anyways, so - that's no biggy, RWB has informed me you boys to a dfp delete and can remove them anyway...
Working electric seats and puddle lights - 2.2 diesel... Oh my god.........

Best try and see if I can financially commit

[GingerMagic]

Aye, its the law here to remove and delete the DPF..... May as well have a remap while you are at it.

Will still get 42 - 45 to the gallon out of it after ' tweaking ' should this persuade you at all??

Hell yeah - that's the main reason I want a turbo

You might need a complete exhaust - the only bit not mentioned is the back box.
You can get a back box and middle pipe for something like £30 each, the potential problem comes with the DPF / CAT flexy section. If you have to replace the cat / flexy, you're only SUPPOSED to be able to buy a 'type approved' cat, which is expensive. You might be able to supply details for a ficticious older 406, to which these rules don't apply, but it still won't be cheap.

I would be surprised if the bit that's broken is part of the DPF assembly, as they're pretty sturdy - it may be it's only the middle pipe snapped off at the clamp. I would go look if it was local.

Not actually mandatory, but you'd have to be a cog or two short not to.

Mines still nudging 46 mpg, (but then I'm known for dawdling).

That's what I thought about the exhaust Eric. Might be off to have a look tomorrow...

If in doubt, DW12

[Sonia406]

Hoping Rwb can help me out tomorrow with what's what on these diesels...
Don't care about a back box, want to fit a loud one anyway, but the middle parts are worrying me a tad, my diesels were old school, no dpf, no egr, none of this nonsense!
Hopefully me and Rwb can look at it tomorrow..

Just rember what I said about the ditches ... When I drove past there there was a Clio ass up in a ditch ha

Looks like a nice example, and in the best colour as well

the dpf and cat section is made from stainless and is highly unlikely to be damaged, (one or two people have had issues with the front flexi pipe from turbo to cat, but that is very rare). after the dpf you have the mid section which is a straight through pipe followed by the back box.

180k....

I'd suggest something else. By the time you fix the exhaust, timing belt, water pump etc etc - it will be a 2k excercise. And then you can get a nice 406 for that amount of coin!

You could well have a point
Depends really on how much it sells for.. and in fairness the chap still hasn't messaged me back, the only time I can view it is tonight because tomorrow, saturday and sunday I have the kids (all 5 of them)
I shall............... keep looking

[Sonia406]

Found one!

It's within a 5 mile radius...

Oh wait...... I'm not allowed this
