I opened the bonnet and it was gone!!

Tinkering with the 406 on Saturday [read: stealing the Phillips bulbs for the volvo] I noticed the floor underneath my undertray has vanished!!

Looking underneath all that remains are a couple of lonely tie-wraps

Thing is - where is it? I never heard a thing! do they literally break free and then do an impression of a high speed tea tray? I wouldn't want to have been following me at the time

Maybe there's a 406 undertray thief about?

It's a shame though, I quite liked my undertray, we've been together for 3 years

[DaiRees]

There it was gone???

Strange that you didn't hear or feel something... maybe it happened in the snow?

[Welly]

Ah that's possible cos I had to go to Melton last week and there was a fair ridge of slushy snow in the centre of the road and I remember thinking that it was passing directly under the sump at the time so yes I suppose the snow ripped it off

Lucky though cos it's a fair lump that undertray and it could have taken out a fuel line on it's way out

According to service pox mine never had one fitted,so slowly
your car is being brought down to my GLX level

[Welly]

Oh noes!!

Puggy - I'd better set too with me tools and remove the JBL amp+speakers, the 'folders', the Auto-Dimmer, the Levvers, the shag pile, then we'd be brothers ...........



(PS. please don't tell the others the Volvo hasn't got heated seats )

[puggy]

ooooohhh you know how to hurt welly

surprised the volvo has not got them thought they would have been standard

[Welly]

Well whoever ordered it new didn't order the 'Winter Pack'

As with most cars now you start at the bottom and add 'Packs' to spec it up and add lots of ££££££

[Doggy]

Oh noes!!

Puggy - I'd better set too with me tools and remove the JBL amp+speakers, the 'folders', the Auto-Dimmer, the Levvers, the shag pile, then we'd be brothers ...........

Just think Puggy, once you've fitted all that lot, yours will weigh the same as ours

[teamster1975]

Mine was lost somewhere along the line before I bought the car, I've just got the remnants of the screws left!

[puggy]

Oh noes!!

Just think Puggy, once you've fitted all that lot, yours will weigh the same as ours

Which is why mine is like shite of a shovel


do wish i had all those xtra's though then i too could be considered a cosseted old fart

[Welly]

Why don't you buy mine as a donor?

[puggy]

No thanks ,i woild rather sacrifice the few extra's for outright speed

Just think Puggy, once you've fitted all that lot, yours will weigh the same as ours

Sorry doggy mine is already heavier than yours cos i am a right fat bastard !!

I have the remnants of a tray in my garden from my uncles 406 if anyone wants it. My tray is well secured, its going nowhere. My last 406's one was gone when i bought it and when i went through any kind of puddle a load of steam came from the back and the check engine light came on.

[Welly]

The upsetting thing is I wasn't the last person to 'fiddle' with it - my Garage were and I trusted that with the benefit of the car being up on ramps they'd have done a better job than me of bodging it back on

[mjb]

I don't even trust garages to shut the bonnet properly after the incident that saw the tubby scrapped...
