Re: the 406
yea were well chuffed with it the misses loves it and I reckon we got it at a bargain price of £450 its not been removed from eBay yet hoping theyll remove it soon as reckon it will go higher and theyll be disapointed theve sold it early as long as the V5 has been sent away i dont care though at the end of the day they cant ask for it back

You're right, that's where I nicked it from
(it's the only thing that place is any use for anyway, most members spend their time complaining about a slight squeek when the close the glovebox etc.... ) oh and they also complain bitterly about the crap fuel economy from the D5 which makes me smile [read: near-to T5 economy, seriously].

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
