Another newbie in Somerset

Post by stev6e »

Hi all,

Have just purchased my 3rd (guess that means I'm a fan) V6 24v saloon.

This time it's a 2003 (03) exec in blue. Chuffed to monkeys with it.

I've always liked this car, it's a pity I stepped away with an inferior alternative until it too expired recently :D

I'm hoping this one will last longer than the others which both met premature ends (not my fault, honest). :cheesy:

Having an lpg conversion next week, I've heard the 406 converts well, even though space under the bonnet is a bit restricted.

I've had a dig around the forum and I'm impressed with the help that's available and the friendly banter.

I do have some questions so I'll stick them on seperate threads.

Cheers for now

What would you consider to be a bargain-ish price welton ??? (he said, temporarily deflecting the killing blow). :D
