They're just not built to take the V6's power output. There used to be quite a few threads to that effect on here before the hacking incidenteoin27 wrote:Are those auto gearboxes really that bad?

I think the auto box on the 406 was an old outdated very fragile piece of kit which suffers badly if it's fluid isn't religiously changed (which Peugeot say is sealed or life)

I dont think it has the wrong wheels although I know what you're saying. My lx has the same alloys as the early d9 executives which I think look much better. And as for the spoiler: I think they can look ok if they are discreet spoilers unlike that one.that 406 has the wrong wheels thou and personally i dunt like spoilers on the 406.
