newbie from leeds

Post by dawsondj01 »

Hi guys. Thought id say hello. Ive owned a 406 estate 2.0hdi 110 for around 2 month and its great.
im 26 and had alot of modified fast cars. But due to family and kids etc had to get something sensible.
so a 406 seemed sensible for now but its grown on me more than i thought.
i am a mechanic and also work in a peugeot dealership (im not a peugeot tech before all the questions come flying to me)
So i do have resources at hand for parts etc.
i have also just purchased a full black leather interior.
7 seat conversion
and plan on getting rid of the fake wood trims.
also bought some new wheels and plan on maybe getting some coilovers on it to lower its stance.
