ive got a 04 1.9 dci,
ihavent had it long, one of the key cards were duff, there very easy to repair, saved my self 180 quid,
there not abad car there just prone for electrical problems, last one ihad iweighed it in, water from the bulk head found its way into the fusebox and b.s.i
so ive learnt from that and made sure it dont happen to this one,

They are avery cheap car at the moment, only paid 530 quid for mine and its not far off mint condition wise

But id still say having a 406 is alot less hastle 8)

I think gary406 had similar problems. You can find his posts in the how-to section. Also as lozz said it's better to reseal the lights, it's a 5 minute job. Also if one of your lights is cracked then fix it with some superglue, one of mine was and water entered from there.
