Hello one and all.
I have just sold my money pit v8 land rover discovery, and bought a 2001 406 estate with the 2 litre hdi engine.
Absolutely loving it so far. Drives really well, am impressed. Just need to remember to avoid potholes and floods in this hahahahaha

Hi & welcome to the forum. 
I guess you can't help but notice it's a bit cheaper to run. 406 estates are great load-lugging mile munchers. Enjoy.

Only got it on Friday. So still getting used to it!!!Doggy wrote:Hi & welcome to the forum.

But put 100 quids worth of Diesel in, already done 75 miles and still got loads of go go juice left. I would only get 200 miles to 50-60 quids worth of LPg in the gasguzzler!!!
As for the space, its amazing!! Fits the dog crate for both dogs in no problems!!!!!

Hello & welcome 
Yes you'll probably be getting 750 odd miles from a tank in these, and you'd be very well advised to avoid floods given some recent threads.

Re: Hello everyone
That sort of mileage is absolutley stupid!!! (compared to what I have been used too anyway. Anything more than 11mpg is a bonus hahahahahahhahaa)
Have seen the stuff about floods, I shall be avoiding them like the plague, going to have a proper look around the engine bay, so I can figure out where the intake is! Should have taken the snorkel off my land rover and fitted it to the 406 hahahahahaha
