Re: Key Fob stopped working

Try re-synching it first - turn on the ignition, then press/hold the unlock button for 10 seconds, (IIRC) Well, the above didn't work when I tried it, so I was still just using the key to open and lock the car. A couple of days later, I accidentally clicked the button on the fob and it activated th...

Key Fob stopped working

I've got a W plate 406 HDI Exec (D9?) which has been chugging along quite nicely. On Friday, my remote key fob stopped working, and I was getting a slow blink with the light on the key. I presumed this meant low battery, and got a new CR2016 and installed it. THe issue is, it didn't seem to work. Th...

Re: 406 Exec Auto Wipers issue

Well, one of the metal holding posts had come away from the windscreen, so I got some double-sided sticky tape, stuck it back on and remounted the sensor. Still doesn't work, but I noticed the light was flickery rather than solid, so I've ordered a new sensor off eBay for a fiver. Let's hope that fi...

Re: Hi There, just joined

Just one question, do I have to wait until a certain amount of posts before I can add to my profile? I can't seem to see an option at the moment...

Hi There, just joined

I have a 2000 406 Exec Saloon HDi, still going strong after nearly 17 years. Just joined as I'm having a few small issues, and want to fix myself rather that lobbing out to a dealer/garage for stuff I can do myself. Can't really fault the car, I've had it 12 years and it's only had 1 breakdown in th...

406 Exec Auto Wipers issue

Hi, new poster here. I've got a 2000 W plate 406 Executive HDI saloon which is proving to be remarkably cheap to run, requiring 0 spend on the last 3 MOTs. The issue I have now is that my auto-variable windscreen wipers don't work. They work in every setting, but when in position 1 (auto) they swipe...
