Another bargain!

Don't think he care's about your opinion welly, it's been sold.
Genuine 85k 2.2 executives are like rocking horse poo

Did (Gary) really get £2,450.00 for it? if so I R AMAZE.

WTF are those air vents anyhow?

[steve_earwig]

Looked like Mercedes badges or something. Easy enough to replace, unlike that awful arch bling.

[Welly]

I didn't know those arch bling things were even available for the 406. I wonder how they were attached*

[steve_earwig]

Not something I've ever seen, I presume they're from the Halfords "Tacky Bling" range. I dread to think how they're attached.

Anyway, anyone need a tow bar? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122398809829?ul_noapp=true

and the award for best half-arsed car advert goes to

Even with its "knocking brakes" and wonky UJ they must be something about the poor old thing that is worth bigging-up for the advert.

Verdict: break it for parts, collect more moneh, then send over the bridge.

Oh god here's another one clinging onto life by a thread: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/peugeot-406-e ... 2398809829

Lol's at the 'on a flatbed' picture redeeming feature being a 7-seater perhaps.

Such a shame seeing D9's falling over like this, there's never really anything major wrong with them other than being unloved and uncared for by numpty owners on a shoestring.

Another dingley Dangle, with a dangley diff...


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262940094762?ul_noapp=true

The rear axle has collapsed so will need rebuilding. I started taking the axle off but then I realised I had bugger all change of getting any parts for it whatsoever so I gave up.

[Welly]

the rear axle collapsed so I started poking about underneath and quickly got way out of my depth after breaking one of the brake hoses.....

Just looked at the 'underside' photos - there's a lot of rust! the ARB? almost looks sheared/split.

Maybe it spent its life in a field or summat?

A sad end to a Partner 4-Dangle that's for sure.

That's quite normal for a 13 year old UNLOVED pug welly,
Shocking I know but when I bought mine it was similar to this

This appeared in my inbox, due to ebay search I have set up looking for low mileage 406's. Sadly it's yet another "can't be bothered to type 3 zeros" but 2 things caught my eye: Firstly, a 406 saloon actually looks nice in gold (I suspect I'll be in a minority here and I'm willing to accept that I may have brain damage due to driving a gold handbagmobile for 3 years) and secondly, this:

it failed the mot on the brake pedal creeping to the floor under pressure. A new master cylinder was fitted, but hasn't solved the problem.

Err, aren't they meant to do that?
