Re: Bought another 406
After attempting a DIY refurb on the alloys that came with this 406 i gave up and had them refurbished instead, put a new set of wheels on them (205/55/R16 the old ones were 195/55/R15) and put them on my 406:
They fill the arches, the old wheels were hiding away inside the arches:
Any of the black stuff is just the soap that the tyre fitter used to put on the new tyres.

That's not bad. I paid £280 to get the Nautilus wheels done a couple of years ago.GingerMagic wrote:How much was the refurb - if you don't mind me asking. Seems a going price is around £200..!!

Re: Bought another 406
The refurbished alloys were £200 plus £40 VAT
The tyres were £50 a corner
Hopefully I'll get a bit of money back from the 15" alloys I had on it they are only a year old

Re: Bought another 406

Assuming you would want to use this to allow anyone "on the farm" to get in and drive it, but want to retain the immobilizer to prevent any tom, dick or harry. Mount the antenna ring under the seat and stick the transponder chip on the static rail so that you have to move the seat all the way forward (or back, if you so desire) to align them before the car will start. as long as the thief isn't a dwarf you will be fine!

You must have learnt a lot about car electronics doing all this stuff and I suppose what you've found is that it's actually quite simple when you figure it out? (even though to most of us, me included, it appears extremely complex)
