It sold - you can see it in the sold listings. Regards, Geoff.

Has anyone ever tried fitting electric leather seats till a td non leather manual seat 406 ? Yes, there's a host of information on here - just use the search facility. There is how to do stuff in the knowledge base that goes through step by step bypassing drivers seat ecu - passengers seat is strai...

Hi guys I have a 406 Family est 7 seater unfortunately the middle seat belt jammed and I had to cut it any ideas on how to fix or fit in split seats thanks Take off the back rest, stand it with the top of the backrest on the floor and starting at one end of the bottom of the backrest lever the back...

Hi Geoff - keep the electric seat switch from your drivers cloth seat, and use this to bypass your memory ECU. Its a straight fit but you just need to reverse the polarity - as when you move the seat button forwards, it will go backwards. Did you get all the lower black dash stuff too, including th...

Well everything comes to he who waits! Had a great day out stripping an Exec estate same year and colour of mine, went home with a full black leather interior and a load more goodies to keep me busy for a while. Have now got all the seats and door cards swapped over and all the dash trim changed, ev...

Hi Buddy, methinks you need to have ignition switched on for maplight and manual switch. Regards Geoff. i tried as you said. but still it's same :( That's deffo how they are controlled so it looks like you have no ignition controlled feed to the switch. Could you have disturbed the connection when ...

Hi Geoff, glad my advice from over 2 years ago was useful. I no longer have a 406, as I now have a T4 as a family vehicle - not a patch on the 406 but it's more suitable for our needs. If your fogs are not damaged, you can clean the inside of the glass out and sell them on - may get a bit of money ...

Yes, it is a pig. When I did mine to clean the insides out, I kinda sat upright with both legs under the car, while reaching under/behind with the right hand on a decent length screwdriver with a torx bit, and the left hand 'fingering' for the bolt. It is possible, it took about 30 mins to do one f...

Yes but they are very few and far between with most being in poor condition. Looks like I'll have to play the waiting game.

Thats more like the answer I wanted to see! Are you Russian?

I'm looking for a set of leather seats for my 406 but there doesn't seem to be many around. I wondered if the 407 seats would fit or could be modded,as they seem to be more available. For example might the leather and cushioning be fitted onto my seat frames? Best regards, Geoff.

I'm looking for a nice interior, preferably electric, in leather or half leather. Will travel for a nice set. Best regards, Geoff.

Thanks for all the info lads, especially the link from doggy. Methinks I'll be going for the Osrams. My headlight units are clear with good reflectors, I suspect that in my cars past that someone has changed the drivers side unit and not set it up correctly as the motor adjustment works fine. Regard...

I do quite a good few long journeys through the night and would like to improve the lighting on my 1999 406 estate. I already know that I need the headlights setting correctly as the drivers side headlight seems set very low. I would however first like to upgrade the headlight bulbs and would apprec...
