Well she is still here and now listed at £150 for car (scrap value), and just cant believe it. If she dont go today then scrap yard it is. Iv noticed 406 prices are really rock bottom, i really dont understand why. At this rate il be paying to get rid of her

Well time for her to go :cry: , i dont want to scrap her but she been sat on drive for 7 months now. Both front springs went in Feb this year, MOT ran out Feb, tax in a few days. Engine, gearbox and body in fair condition, exhaust only done few thousand miles, had new battery, glow plugs and MFU abo...

Hmmmmm Bin busy with a new job etc, thing is cos have company van my 406 has bin parked up for 2 months, long story short went to get a new mot today, pulled car of drive and STOP. Front wheels are well under the arch, bottom of car is about 3" or ground. Any ideas? Cant even jack it up, as thou all...

Welts what part of lincs, you was in my patch.

0.16 mile @ £9.49 day

All very valid points, yeah iv gone of the idea of estate, thought of my lad in that space dont seem right. As for chip and ragged! :frown: Didnt buy chip to rag car, its never been flat out and only red lined in 3rd gear once. Chip lets engine run better at lower revs in my case, yes there is more ...

Ty Ty Ty Yeah bin looking around at all sorts, LWB Mitsubishi Pajero (Shogun) are good motor but from what iv heard costly to run. And as i do 100 miles a day to and from work i want something up in the 35's. Musso with merc 2.9 engine just about makes it. Trouble is resale on pug not great, getting...

Lol well it dont go. Dont want to sell but got no choice, least its got full mot and 6 months tax and is in...

My local garage charged me 25 notes, only a small machine with no printer but it listed faults as a description as well as code, and then went on to seperate menus for each fault to show readings / cause etc. No idea about main dealers price but i wouldnt bother, doubt they would even know what code...

All valid points, but why not do like i do, car insurance with Marks & Spencers and full RAC cover included for free. Ok i shopped around and i pay about 60.00 more for insurance but RAC for free. Had them out twice, one for when car locked itself with keys in :lol: ...and another for not starting o...

Sounds good from reading site, trouble is how much?

And if i want to try some its quarter of a tank round trip

Will just have to wait for it to go nationwide.
If anyone does try it let us diesel lovers know

Popping some ear defenders in post tonight Welly

Mind you isnt it a good thing not being able to hear the other half moan oops meant talk

Why not set fader to rear only, then you can have your ears bashed all you want

As far as im aware your old MOT is valid upto the expiry date. I meant to do mine few weeks before but forgot, so had MOT and tax on same day. arrrrrrr

Lucky for me my baby passed with flying colours. Good luck with yours.

Yeahhhhhhh, 406 just breezed through MOT not even any advisories. Looking forward to another year of cheap motoring (if i keep away from under bonnet) :cheesy: Mind you spent 2 hours figuring sidelight bulbs out, plastic white things snapped off, and front left side light and right tail light work o...
