I'm in Epsom Surrey, I need the car for another week or so whilst I try to buy a car (either a 508 estate or a Tucson) from a dealer

Hello gang......................the time has come, I'm sellin my 406 110bhp HDI, mot'd till Jan 21 130K on clock.........£200 :roll: YES £200, 4 brand new tyres brand new power steering pump, I'm driving it every day n have owned it for over 3 years, silver 52 plate, she has been wonderful, but the ...

Many thanks Ging.....................pipe bunged!.............let's face it, if it lasts for 5 years, that'll be longer than the supply of parts (especially comm 2000units), they must be the most replaced part (apart from the tyres)

Pheeeewey............that wasn't what I was looking at! (told you I was a *wat), right, got the sucker, so cut the pipe n bung a screw up the end that leads back to that solenoid?

Ging...................I'm scared! there's lots of round bits!!!!.....do you mean the black round bit that's very close to the r/h injector which seems to connect to a big ol pipe that comes from a small radiator thing (intercooler??) at the front. If this is the round thing you mention, it appears ...

Good man Ging..................gonna have a look in a sec!
So, it seems, if a person wants a diesel car..................they should only have an old one!! being a car snob is a very costly exercise

Hello gang, I'd like to disconnect the EGR on my 52 plate 110 hdi, I understand I only have to pull off a vacuum pipe from a solenoid........YIPPEE........however, I'm an absolute *wat with car mechanicals...................can anyone spoon feed me? On a seperate note, I understand the MOT test got ...

I've loved 406 HDI's for the last 10+ years, but they are getting thin on the ground. So, where do we go in a couple of years time when we want a long lasting trouble free car for a princely sum of about £1500?.............is it a Citreon C5 estate? a Hyundai estate? a Dacia estate?

Jasper.....................You're a genius!!.........who would have thought WD would have solved the problem!!!..........I wish I could learn to start with possible simple fixes rather than defaulting straight to the worst case scenario.............many thanks!

Apologies for the delay....................the locky bit in the tailgate, I can move the 'keep' across with a screwdriver, but it won't click into the locked position, is that correct?

Yes, the catch bit is open n works, n the bit in the floorpan isn't loose

Hi gang...........the tailgate has stopped locking, I've swept the striker hole n all the bottom seal to no effect. The central locking works fine on the other doors, but the tailgate just goes thump when I close it n can be lifted back up again......any ideas?

Well done lads..............soldering up the wires has solved the problem!!................AND.................it's cured the ABS light that had been on since I bought the car 3 months ago

Just found your tips n hints within the section called 'knowledge based articles'............you young whizzkids call things very different names these days!! I pulled one of the plugs apart............very nasty mess, so that'll be getting cut out tomorrow. Perhaps someone could do an article on th...

Yes.............all 3 connectors and some relays are just beneath the throttle pedal. To be honest, as this is a huge achilles heel, perhaps someone could make a 'sticky' at the start of the electrical section for this and other common faults like the comm 2000. I reckon all 406 owners need to cut t...
