Hi everyone, my name is Dejan and I'm passionate about French classic cars. I have a tiny collection of Renaults and Citroens from 70's & 80's and from now on I have a lovely 406 from 2001. It has got all the appeal of a classic car and having/driving one makes me very happy
Mine had 50k miles on the clock when I bought it from the first owner. It comes in exec trim level with beige leather interior which is my absolute favourite. 2.2 Hdi (110) unit has been remaped by Steve (hdi tuning guy) and everything else on the car is in its original state.
Mine is automatic and I drive it daily.
Thanks for letting me join the club.
Dejan

Hi Dejan you must be a long-suffering classic French car fan
as frustrating they can be they are also charming and honest.
Welcome in hope you find the site useful.
Cars in my care:
2005 Volvo S40 T5 a bit pampered, now lacking boostage, under investigation
2010 Citroen C4 1.6 HDi turbo de' explosions, injured leg but now recovering from shock
2010 Renner Twingo refreshingly simple, now with fresh MOT, no advisories

Hi Dejan
Welcome to the forum. I have two 406 Hdi's and I reckon they are the best car Peugeot made, mine are both 2.0 estates, manual for economy as I use them all the time.

I didn't realize that I typed 2.2 hdi. It is 2.0 unit.
I'll upload some pics next week when I give them a wash
406 is an absolute delight and If I'd known how thirsty and unintelligent AL4 auto was, I'd have gone for manual too. I also own a brand new transut connect auto (1.5 120ps) and it made me forget how annoying were older automatics.
Saying that I still love my 406 inspite of being thirsty and it is actually a good idea to buy another one (manual probably) to reduce the mileage on each (I do 2k+ per month). I love HDI's and also V6's. So either 2.2 now, or V6 ;)

Here you can see few pics of my 406
Pics of other cars need editing before uploading as they are too big to upload as they are.
