Drove past this last week and oh look - it's on eBay

Sonia,

Also ( not sure if the model is too old for what your looking at ) - the GTX comes fairly well equipped with all the puddle lights, electric seats etc.

Heard rumours it's a harder spec to come by, but don't know enough about the way Peugeot changed these things

[Sonia406]

This ones a GLX, so I'm pretty sure it has electric seats but don't think it has puddle lights....

It's effectively my trim (LX) that gained a G...

Anyone know the difference with the G and no G models

[steve_earwig]

I suspect all the GLXSLRSTUV stuff doesn't actually mean very much, and when Pug were selling these cars buyers could add & subtract stuff willy nilly. Either that or they changed the spec every week. Anyway, just 'cos it's an ABC don't assume it's got whatever, check it.

Yep, it's whatever parts were lying about on the day it was built. Generally, later cars are better specced for a given trim level.

Well said scotty , having driven the doggy mobile i would love a 2.2
that had been tinkered with by Eric but i think doggy would agree
my 110 could not really be called gutless

Indeed Lou, yours goes well and has really nice power delivery with a good wide spead or torque, (remarkably similar to my bro's, come to think of it).

I'll take mine with a bi-turbo please

...I have one of those on my trophy wall too.

[Sonia406]

C'mon then Doggy, do enlighten me how much tax you pay per year?

I've done an insurance quote and that's £200 cheaper to insure (original 406 on the first post)
Even though it's newer than my car and with a bigger engine - can anyone make sense of that? Unless it's purely because it HAS an alarm.

[jonsowman]

Coupe is £220/year tax, I imagine the saloon/estate is the same

[Sonia406]

Coupe is £220/year tax, I imagine the saloon/estate is the same

Surely the newer the car they have cheaper insurance? I believe Miss Pug's insurance is £143 for 6 months, (so maybe £220 for a year?) I'm sure the boys said their tax is loads much cheaper than mine.............

[jonsowman]

Apologies, I meant £200/year (£110 for 6 months). The rules changed in 2001 I believe. Have a look here: http://carfueldata.dft.gov.uk/new-vehic ... ?t=23ude39

[Doggy]

Yep, mine's £200 / year too.

[grasmere59]

You need a 110, post march 2001.£140 a year

[Sonia406]

Been to look at the car, took along rwb for good measure, he'll tell you all the technical stuff later on.
Thanks for coming today Rwb, you super star... I like the fact you were quick off the mark with the mathematics (goodness ) but also the service history... I think he felt a little intimidated when you were having a good old dig through it all

Thanks again rwb!

[Captain Jack]

You two are getting a little cozy... Is there another reason for having the estate car?!

Cozy, it was definitely cozy in my car after we'd done the inspection of the car
He's a lovely chap, full of helpful advice and hasn't been the first time he's gone out of his way to help me out... I have rwb to thank for a LOT. Extremely glad that he lives local-ish... and can be of assistance when I scream loud enough

Clean intercooler:


Richard said something about a blanking plate on an EGR valve (I know from a friend with a Poxhall, the EGR valves can cause no end of grief) Not sure if it's visible on the pic:




The under body;


I thought the smaller part was the DPF and the larger part was the Cat, I think Richard said it was the other way round - boys?!






That's all the pics I could take, my stupid stupid iPhone crashed at the worst possible time........
