Does anyone know how to get the damn things out without visiting a Peugeot dealership? I haven't found any information anywhere to tell me how to remove a standard 406 head unit. It's from a mark 1. I really need some advice as I'm selling one of my cars tomorrow. Another question: why do people cal...

Further proof, if needed, that humanity is reverting to the level of primaeval mud skippers.

<---------------------------- The End

Sounds like exactly what happened to me a few months ago when my timing went. If it's your timing belt, you'd better get it seen to quickly.

Foxy, you're making a prat out of yourself now; no-one cares. I asked in another thread about the differences in performance between the standard 2.0 turbo and the standard 3.0 V6. Is it really that different? I'm sort of hoping for the sort of acceleration that feels like you're leaving your stomac...

I apologise for being a bitch in my last post. It's just been a while since someone doubted me over that car. All I can say is the car was what it was and it did what it could do, and I will always know that, so it isn't really relevant if someone wants to contest that a year and a half after I sold...

One of 3 things is possible here - either your car was highly tuned to almost Cosworth power before you got it (unlikley), or you have been misled by certain people or you are full of it. Or my car was just good, and you can't take it. Sounds like Endeavour would have demolished your car in any tri...

So you got 65bhp extra from a bleed valve, exhaust and filter? I'm not saying it sounds believable, I'm stating the figures my car had when he'd done the work. He said it was putting down just over 160bhp at the road wheels in perfectly standard form. I therefore gained 25bhp at the road wheels thr...

Yes, bleed valve, induction kit and custom exhaust, not too shabby considering the job lot cost me £500, and it was losing 20bhp LESS through the transmission than an Impreza 2.0 turbo as John from JP Autotechnics pointed out -- why do you think he remembered me when I hadn't been to his garage for ...

I thought it was 180bhp as said the hand written rolling road ticket you posted a while back.

It said 185bhp, and that was at the wheels. The flywheel figure was 215bhp. It was rolling roaded at JP Autotechnics, and you can ring John who owns it if you want to confirm the figures.

I've got a couple of mine up there, so why don't we all deluge the site with videos of our 4s? *

I reckon the world is crying out to see our pap-paps!

* I'm calling them 4s, not 6s, since almost every car in the current Peugeot lineup has got a 6 in it.

Hi mate, welcome to the gang. You're better off fitting an aftermarket Cd or MP3 player to your 406. It's a lot less hassle than a changer. I'd always recommend getting handbrake or clutch cables tightened before going to the expense of replacing the components. The Haynes guide is pretty crap, but ...

Actually, I reckon he wasn't that far wide of the mark: in Endeavour, my black car, I virtually held off an Impreza through fourth and fifth gears, though I did get left behind and I don't know which type of Scooby it was. My 406 then had 215bhp at the fly and around 230lb/ft, and was running on per...

Something Malachy said in another thread has worried me. What's this about HiFlow Heads having a bad reputation? I just got advice from them about tuning a 406 V6 and they sounded all right to me!

I paid £250 to have my entire timing system replaced, plus HT leads which I realised a couple of days later that I didn't need! (They took my old ones out and put holes in them to make it look like they were damaged!)

Had a rather interesting chat this morning with Andy who owns HiFlow Heads. I told him I'm thinking of getting a 406 V6 and he remarked on how impressive the car and engine combination is, stating that the engine is "bombproof" and comes with forged pistons as standard (perhaps due to lessons learne...
