Re: possibly breaking 1999 406 petrol
£300 for what is essentially exactly the same car as my old saloon is a steal. I bought my '99 1.8 LX from a garage for £1800 (£1500 + my old Mk.1 Clio).
The 1.8 petrol and 2.0 petrol engines are bullet-proof, they'll run and run. They're also surprisingly economical for such large cars; my 1.8 used to give me as much as 600 miles on a tank, cross-country, and that's not even taking it easy on the gas.
Put a new clutch on it and a year's tax/MOT and you'll get as much as a grand for it. Looks like she's in absolutely cracking nick too, which is more than can be said for my old saloon

The car went today I managed to get a few parts off but not the vents. Sorry mate. My nozy neigbours had the street wardens out.
Re: possibly breaking 1999 406 petrol (DEFINITELY BREAKING)
No probs loz. The parts I managed to get are for sale in a seperate thread. Not after makin a fortune. Owners clubs are about helpin each other ou
