And my in-tank fuel pump is not grumbling badly and it didn't refuse to work twice on Friday and I didn't leave my car at home all weekend for fear of it breaking down no I didn't.

Actually no! I've done so much recently I've vertually got a brand new 406 again
I'm certainly going to see out the winter in it (oh sh*t the MOT's in January) and then we'll see but really I should get 2 years now of no-maintenance pay back time

As you are well aware Welly I keep getting the get rid bug BUT and it is a big BUT. I have decided to run it into the ground before i part as its cost me sh*t loads!! The last major spend will be in december new cambelt water pump and tensioner around £200 to £300 i think. Then anything more than its worth and it will be gone. Would hate see someone driving it around saying best car I have ever had knowing full well you have sold it and have a new so called better car not being reliable etc... Have been down that road before. Also they soak up miles oh so well . Coverd a 1000 miles this w end if its comfort and economy that will be a 406 HDI then
Yes i think welly, it will be like the legend that is the 205 GTI. But for the family man. I still look at mint 205's driving around which is rare and think back what a great hot hatch.
I guess we will be doing the same about the 406. It does what it says on the tin a great family car.
Have to say my mate is selling is 407 hdi 136 and having been reading the reviews i would not touch one with a barge pole.
Like i said in an earlier thread I think I will be having alfa 159 diesel or the new shape honda accord diesel if the reviews are still as good when my 406 decides to die.
