Hi Folks

[Nightshade]

Hi guys,

I've just registered and wanted to post up a quick hello!
This morning I went and bought my first 406, and having already found tons of useful info on the site, I though I should join up. This will be my 3rd Peugeot, having had a 106 and a 306 before, and now a 406 (darn, I missed out the 206 ). Now I just have to wait to pick her up...
So, um... Hi!

[lozz]

hi ya

welcome on in mate

[Ares]

Hi,welcome to the forum,another peugeot freak

[Doggy]

Hi & welcome to the site.

What model 406 are you getting?

Post some pics whn you can.

[Nightshade]

I will, although she'll win no beauty contests... yet
Mines an old wagon - a 97 estate with a 1.9 xud. I think she's and 'L', but I may be wrong - she has no front fogs anyway which will need to be near the top of the list to address. We've not long since bought a puppy, whose already getting on for the size of a bear, so it was time for something with a decent sized boot.
You may shudder at this dependant on what kind of people are on the forum, but I'd also fancied swapping the family tent for a caravan. I reckoned an old 406 derv should be able to drag something medium sized about.

Welcome along...Only a newbie too but find the site great for info...

[Nightshade]

ok, you asked for it, so here she is. Not the most exiting but I like a lot.









She'll be family wagon and this might sound daft, but I reckon she'll probably have hit bottom value right now. I see no reason not to keep her forever..... everything becomes a classic some day. Turns out she has a fsh, which wasn't mentioned in the add (why?!?) and nearly new Pirelli's on each corner. I'd call that a result!
Anyway, with that out of the way perhaps some of you will play 'guess the car part with me'?!? The following came in the glove box (along with a nice original manual and owners guide). They're in Peugeot bags and one is labelled 'Rar bush', which I think might be bar bush? dunno









And random pot to finish off..




I've got a droning coming from the rear, so wondered if it's anything to do with the bushes? Probably not if they're anti roll bar bushes. Could be a wheel bearing I guess. Anyone know what they're like to change? I don't have a press sadly.
Anyway, there you are, my 406!

[jonsowman]

Looks very nice, same colour as mine I think

[Nightshade]

Heh, I'm chuffed with this evenings efforts. I've just discovered the fuel flap / peg spring repair. So much joy from a little spring
Love this site already

[gumby6371]

Welcome in mate, looks very tidy, same colour as my saloon but slightly newer and without a big hole in the front bumper (not my doing I hasten to add)

Been running mine on a veg/derv mix for the last 3 months, let me know if you want any info on that.

Enjoy

That looks very tidy indeed---certainly tidier than mine

How many miles are on it?

[Nightshade]

Awesome! Thank very much for that.

She's done 136k, which is a lot I guess, but then I suppose its less than 10k a year. It's in surprising good nick considering the age - the interior has worn really well

[406pugturbo]

Welcome my good man, nice tidy motor
