Hello everyone!
I've wanted a 406 for 20 years and now I finally own this beauty.
Regards
Ian.

Welcome to the forum.
I ran 406 Hdi estates for about 10 years and very many miles, I think they are the best cars Peugeot ever made for driving and reliability, they do everything nicely and have a good comfort/road holding compromise. Enjoy yours.

Re: Newbie!
Hi, welcome.
Yours looks like a nice clean example - worth the wait?
Like most members here, I've owned numerous 406s and while they were mostly cheap and cheerful means of motoring, they do have a habit of getting under your skin
Have a look at the Knowledge Base here, it's on the home screen ( I think... ) and get yourself familiar with the 406 'quirks'....
Enjoy your new car.

Welcome to the mad house Ian
Wow you leave it twenty years & then buy a 97/98 D8 phase one
You've got a good six years of newer 406's to wade through yet
Great car's, I've personally had four & still own one after eight year's, It's just the wrong one I kept
