Hi All, I can't believe it,with all the years of ownership the 406 has thrown a curve ball,it's a 2003 Executive estate 110,the O/S headlight has stopped working on dip beam,oh i thought just a bulb but no,bulb is fine,no 12v feed to the bulb,fuse is fine,checked for corrosion on the multipin to the...

Interesting,i assume the "family" refers to the 7 seater and not the estate.

Not binning this one anytime soon,well at least not for another 12 months! Just need to get an o/s front wing in Diablo Red to make her look good again.

Took the old girl for MOT today,i knew the front bottom balljoint boots were split so fitted 2 new balljoints and she went straight through with no advisories.165k miles and still plodding along.

Few and far between now i fear.

Ah that makes sense,i'm not sure what year of 406 it came from as i never asked the seller,just got to find someone with pp2000 then or just live with it

I managed to buy a mint Type C display for my 53 plate 406 exec estate,i fitted it and no missing lines or pixels!!........but i have now lost use of the CD multichanger and the remote volume control from the r/h column stalk,any ideas?? Put the old Type C back in and everything works fine again.

I bought a Mondeo Estate and have been very pleased with it so far,it's the Titanium Sports so the ride is a bit on the firm side but in standard trim the ride is fine and the 2.0ltr Diesel is basically a Peugeot engine.

The A/C is a leak on the condenser as if you give it a regas it works fine for a week or so and it was traced to that,as for the wing i have been keeping an eye out for used one the same colour but they are few and far between.If it wasn't for the fact that i might be losing the garage i keep it in ...

It's relutantly time to let my 406 go i think,it's a fully loaded 2003 53 Executive estate in Diablo red with chesnut leather trim,it's done 165k with a full service history,main Peugeot dealer till 90k odd then i have serviced it and documented all work carried out.Cambelt and water pump done at 15...

I'd say 99% of the farmers round where i live are still using defenders in one guise or another,the closest farm to me has a 92' TDI and a 01' TD5,both are in daily use and are beaten to a pulp but just keep on going,they have both done over 200k miles.Neither have ever been welded either.

Still can't part with mine although i don't really use it much now.

Paintwork on the bonnet looks bolloxed

Reflecting on how quiet things have got hereabouts. Collected my new trailer today & stashed it in the campervan's storage spot for now. (Overpriced few square yards of derelict WW2 airfield c/w fences & cctv - someone had the luck or foresight to snap up). https://i.imgur.com/Eb0Qd8G.jpg https://i...

I towed our 1350kgs caravan with the Pug all over the country and i certaintly knew it was there but it managed admirably apart from long steep hills when it let me know it wasn't really happy.Still can't part with it
