Special Build?

[Doggy]

Mines on 143k - 40k by me in the last 2 yrs.
I've tried to persuade myself some other Peugeots are desireable, come nearest with the 407 but can't myself really want one and I really don't like the 307

Did you see 120635976762 on't fleabay?

Yummy!

I sort of want a station wagon for my mountain bike - I just wish we got the 2.2 HDI as an option in the 406 here, as opposed to the HDI 110, which to me isn't quick enough!

Spotted that one already. To be honest I wrote it off as it's only a GLX (with more body damage than mine although in the same colour) & the fact that the particle filter's goingto be freshly changed for the new owner will probably push the price up above what I'd want it for.

Ideally I want one that's due the change so it'll be cheap enough to budget for getting everything ripped out & a cambelt change on top.

Well, looky here

This would do nicely if the timing was right - possible bargain for someone who's quick.....

Oooh, looks a good'un really.

Why do people type such utter shyte in their adverts?........"Sat Nav CD does not read occasionaly - needs cleaning?" - Well clean the f*cker then and let us know

Already spotted that one too. Reckon that'll end close to or over £2k as SEs usually do go for good money. Mind, at 84k though, I reckon it's very close to the dreaded FAP service.

Mine had the 'Antipollution Service' @72k for about £275 IIRC, (probably means they topped the Eolys up).
It did another 60k+ before the 'final solution'

@Steve no need for the percussion persuader - just take it to KwikFit, get 'em to replace one of the lacky bands holding the zorst up, but warn them not to damage the sensitive FAP element.

[steve_earwig]

Like it You really need to stress that they be extremely careful with it, that was you guarantee they drop it on the floor at least 12 times

[Welly]

............it was like that when you brought it to us Sir........

About £2.5K wasn't it in the end?

Did look nice though

Funnily enough, the guy who I bought my 406 off, I was speaking to him today, and he tried to get that car for his misses but missed out

The first one is back on again:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

A couple of months later & this time no mention of the speedo showing a different mileage & still got the undiagnosed electrical faults.

The really worrying thing is that his ID is ELECTRICTEST & he can't fix this electrical fault. I suggested checking that footwell connection to him the last time he had it listed, but I'm guessing that it didn't do any good.

Can anybody think of anything going that would wipe out the temperature guage & rev counter & make the fuel guage a bit funny? The only other thing I can think of is that earth connection under the ashtray that I read about on here a while ago.

It's not as bad as this one though: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-406-2-0-S ... mobiles_UK which is a HDI90 in poverty spec they've decided to call an SRI for some reason

Check out both sides of the car, see if you can spot the difference (Im not talking about the fuel filler cap)

it took me 2 weeks work out what u was on about with this it was doing my head in but didnt want to ask haha

ELECTRICTEST implies one of these jokers that does PAT tests, which is right up there with, 'Well, I haven't starved so far' in terms of achievement, IMHO.

I think the rev counter info / temp info will come comms-wise from engine ecu & fuel gauge direct as this is a pre COM2000 car. It's always possible theres more than one fault.....

Did it have a mysterious 'jump' in mileage? - this suggests poor connections to the clocks.

It's obviously had a cambelt snap or similar, lots of bits changed but no sign of a recon, good / bad? I dunno.

Didn't it have any FAP issues previously?

BTW I now have an untested 180 bhp pre 2002 map file.
