Black and petrol, would be nice. None of that FAP nonsense.
The 2.0 hdi has FARP but does the 1.6?

1.6 407? Those things are even heavier than the 406 aren't they?
£4k sounds far too good to be true, I'd be HIGHLY suspicious and definitely get the reg+vin checked out before you even THINK about looking inside them!
With your luck with 406s, have you considered a couple of £500-£800 DTs for work (at that price you can keep one spare
) and you can get yourself a nice coop with the change
Get one with an immobiliser keypad and don't tell him the code

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
