Welcome to the 406 Owners Club (406oc.co.uk and pug406.co.uk). If you havn't registered, you can post in here, and find out what the site is all about!
New to the site (which looks good by the way), so thought i'd stick my face in and say hi.
Im from the west mids and am now on my second 406 (2001 2.0 Hdi 110 LX salloon in diablo red). My first 406 was a gorgeous 1.9 td LX estate on an S reg, only sold it when i got a job with a company car.
Only just aquired the new 406 so im getting reaquainted with a comfy supple ride and gentle quiet hdi engines... my last car was a troublesome Skoda Octavia tdi elegance, so im hoping the 406 will be as trusty as my last estate was.
The only concern i have with the latest 406 is a sloshing of water in the sill (passanger side) but ive been using the search function and have found out that the drain holes are probably blocked so im gonna have a dig about at the weekend.

"Always look on the bright side of life, dedo, dedo dedodedo"
(secretly I am struggling a tad with feeling every god damn bump, ripple, coin in the road with the Volvo but I understand all newish cars are like it?).
So waft away my friend on your velvety carpet ride and enjoy it
Oh, when I had sloshy cills after the floods of 2008 I just parked on a steep slope facing downwards and the water dribbled out over night
