What's to look for

Post by Ian9 »

Hi all first post so go easy :)


I currently drive an 03 Rover 75 diesel but was looking at the 03 406 2.0hdi (I just dont trust Rover) is there anything to look out for in the 406?

The usual .. electrics being the most important. Check everything works. Check service history for bottom engine mount, crank pulley, cam belt and maybe flexi-hose/cat replacements. Aircon condenser may be leaking in a car this age as well.

But it'll be better than the Rover :)
