Re: What to replace my 406 with?
What ever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go for a Laguna-2 120 DCi. I had an HDi 110 GLX, and jumped ship to a Laguna 2. I went for a 51 plate 6-speed manual DCi 120. The car was horrible to drive. It only managed up to 480 miles to a tank, and showed a measly 33 - 35 average mpg when the pug would...

Re: 406 V6 - Starting problem / missfire
...The car in question is a circa 65k (Full history) with the older engine. I will have to check oil again. The car had been standing for months before I bought it, and when I checked the oil filler cap there was mayo in there. The oil itself however was nice and clean. I WD'd the Mayo off whilst ex...

Re: 96 Exec Turbo vs 00 HDi LX
Ok... If yours is clean, you might be able to squeeze about £1400 - £1600 for your HDi. Anyone selling a 2.0 Turbo, would be lucky to get £700. I dont want to upset anyone on here, but they are hard to shift by any standards (petrol model, plus higher insurance). I would sell privately then buy a Tu...

Re: MOT or NOT to MOT
I know this is contreversial but the petrol models aren't really worth much second hand and because there's loads of them available with MOT's, it's really not worth much without MOT. "Most" people in the market for a 406 go Diesel, so make sure yours stands out and is an attractive prospect... Now ...

Re: Veggy Oil in Diesel
I run a 1998 2.2 DT Laguna on 95% Standard Vegetable Oil. I pick it up for 55p per litre. My car is suitable because it is IDI *Indirect Injection, and has a Bosch Pump. Therfore I can add SVO straight into the tank with no mods. I wait for the fuel light to come on then add 5 Litres of Diesel to th...

Re: HDI turbo not kicking in
i aint happy about being charged £420 and the problem is still there ...and neither would I! Take it back and seriously kick up a fuss (...I'd possibly go so far as asking for the old parts to be put back on and a refund because they obviously mis-diagnosed the fault, and due to their mis diagmnosi...

406 V6 - Starting problem / missfire
Hi there from a newbie to this forum, who is asking for help on an annoying problem! I have recently bought my 98/R 3.0 V6 Manual (197 bhp) with body damage with the intention of repairing it. It starts ok from cold. However, when the car's been driven it gets increasingly reluctant to start. The ca...
