Hello!

It is very, very, very rare for the turbo to fail on the HDi but I suppose some will fail :|

Yep, the one with the pop up headlights (known as the ST182 - I think...! :shock: ). Also has air con 8)
Pretty tidy apart from a very annoying paint blemish on the rear N/S wheelarch where the previous owner attempted to repair a deep scratch with a tub of polyfilla & can of model car paint by the looks of it.... :x
Will post some piccies along with 406 pics when I get around to polishing them both! :oops:
