:( Sounds like you need to throw some cash at a competent technician or you are going to be trapped in a swap-a-part lottery. :roll: It is a recurring theme of modern ownership that cars which where sold at a considerable premium on a claim of longevity and economy of ownership have once again prove...

BUMP

Its still there - its been a useful wood shed all winter and still has a load in the back
I even charged the battery a couple of times and got it working

Wonderful old thing to do that. I must try again now the weather is better.

Sounds like you need a donor car with a working engine and dials that have already been re-soldered and work fine and whose MOT failure items do not correspond to your list of needs.

The Mrs has found the V5, all is well with the world.

Last chance, it needs to go Monday.

I have received a PM and I have replied.
(just in case the message gets lost.)

im surprised no ones bought it tbh, with it being a 7 seater, :? the 7th seats go for 150 ish on ebay, :roll: Do they still do so, or did they once when people where more interested in the 406 ? I had a similar situation with my 940. The rearmost seats where reasonably expensive, but now the market...

Thanks Guys I sold a lot of parts from the car I scrapped earlier this year, it raised some useful cash but its a lot of trouble. I see it as a useful contribution to my mates on the forum - Volvo forum in that case. I want rid of this quick as I need the driveway space, but I can't find the V5 yet ...

Its got to go!

Price is dropping through the floor.

:shock: Ouch, that was a big bump. Were the seats damaged? Movement of the seat can be indicative of whiplash. ie, if it moved that much maybe bits of you did as well. A mate of mine had a lot less damage to his Frontera, yet he had classic whiplash. After a course of physio he settled for a grand o...

"or near offer"

Yet more pics

Here are some photos. To summarise: Under 135k miles. Some supporting MOTS. Fitted with a tow-ball. :D I have fitted a new rear box, oil and filter, and re-gassed the A/C. I also re-soldered the dials as posted on this forum. They work perfectly 8) Faults are as MOT fail certificate. The water leak ...

The car is half way between Newbury and Basingstoke.

Sorry I had to go out this evening, and I have to go out tomorrow morning. I shall put some better info together tomorrow pm.

Dear all, Unfortunately my "much loved" 406 family estate has failed its MOT and needs a few things done. They are too expensive for me to pay for, an expert with some spares might get it back on the road, but I assume it will go for spares. The engine is the 110bhp 12v turbo diesel. The car has 7 s...

How kind, :D Sorry for the delay replying, I don't seem to be getting notifications, they are probably in my junkmail or something. I am tempted but we (she :wink: ) have decided that one car is enough. The Espace (my "new" car) has been diagnosed and I will get it back next week if all goes well. T...
