Guess my new car

[Dum-Dum]

The issues are the oil leak which is either a turbo line, sump or rocker gacket. All easy fixed


The warnings on the dash are

ABS, TC, ESP - all because of 2 rear ABS sensors
Anti pollution fault - because of DPF




all the stored faults are DPF or ABS sensor related bar the map sensor is gone.

Other stuff is minor like theres no reverse feed to the sat nav, the outside thermometer is apparently incorrect, the speedo and sat nav speed dont quite match and my key is rubbish etc

Oh and have my wheels in the back of the car. Peugeot 5008 18" Magnetik wheels. gonna look awesome.

I quite like the 406 coupe, considered one myself a few times. What management is it on, bosch or siemens? If its bosch your laughing 180 bhp with just a remap!

[Dum-Dum]

2003 Peugeot 406 HDi coupe. Top spec with heated electric leathers, brembos and sat nav, under 100k and lush. Paid 1650 and just been to pick up my new wheels.

That's just f*cking porn right there. I've often thought of getting one of these one day. First job, get the DPF removed, then map it

Yep, waiting for my new map on email and about to put overalls on and go and remove the DPF and CAT.

Nice. As much as I love the looks and V6 soundtrack 25mpg gets painfull. Now slam it on X5 snowflakes.

What like this? This is my inspiration.

Was it bought privately or at a garage?

At a garage but n point taking it back cos the warranty isnt really worth the paper its written on. only covers up to £250. I got it cheaper cos of the faults, the only one i didnt know about was the boost sensor and a new one is only £40 so im just gonna swap it.

How comes I got a warning for my post?

I know I was being a bit of a lady garden but it was all in jest.

If you can't take a joke without handing out warnings perhaps you're not in a position to be a moderator? Just a suggestion, particularly since you no longer own a 306 anyway.

BTW, whilst you may not like it, I did get a positive rep for one of my posts in this thread already....

[Dan!]

I really like these, would have been a strong contender over the astra if it wasnt a. French and b. Stupidly higher insurance groups. Even the hdi is 5 groups higher and much slower O.o

[Stephen]

Nice car, should go well with that remap!

Many other plans for it?

Hope you keep it long enough to bring it to the April camping meet!

Since you seem to be unable to reply to this in PM ill tell you here:

Your warning was not specifically for that post it was for several posts over the last week or so.

Yes you are a bit of a lady garden, sadly not the useful part either.

I have discussed this with other forum staff who also agree. you rarely word stuff as jokes and nobody ever seems to be laughing with you, more at how much of an arse you are sometimes.

I am more than fit to be a moderator, its a 306 owners club and Ive owned more 306s than most people here however that is hardly a qualifying character. An interest in fairness right and wrong and doing whats right for the club even if it means you might not be liked for it all traits that make good mods.

As for getting rep it is regular practice here to be given rep for making arse hole comments if they make other people laugh and thus proves nothing.

Yeah im paying almost as much to insure this with a 190bhp limit as i would for a GTi6 thats the same insurance group. Worth it though IMO, it still only works out at a few quid a month extra

Plans are slammed on coilovers, hoping to get a set of FKs

Then maybe a FMIC, 1800bar rail sensor and a stage 2 map

[Stephen]

Awesome. What what's stage two power ballpark?

[Pete]

Yeah that's the one, would love to give mine that treatment but I can't afford two project cars.

[procta]

Hdis always leak oil....my bet is on the turbo oil return.... Either that or sump gasket/plug....

mines been ok tom :p
i do like the coupes, i have thought about switching to a 406 coupe. But tbh there isnt anything major wrong with my HDi to give it the elbow.
also why you getting shot of the 2.1 sedan? id have thought you would have kept that for bit, and got your moneys worth. seems a bit of a waste to me,

[C.A.R.]

Serious question, does yours have the leccy tilt/slide seats or just the manual ones?

The one I test drove last year had electric tilt and slide seats which were incredibly slow and the drivers side one didn't work either. Also the boot open warning light wouldn't go out!

If they're available with manually tilting seats I'm having increasing thoughts of replacing my 306 with one later in the year, as the prices have dropped recently. Trouble is, can't work out if a kiddy seat will fit in the rear bench as they are almost bucket shaped...

250bhp with the right turbo

Yeah that's the one, would love to give mine that treatment but I can't afford two project cars.

Lush aint it. I dont drive over speed humps so slammed is fine.

Getting rid of the sedan cos i have a short attention span essentialy

It has the all electric heated leathers yes and they both work perfectly. Boot warning light works fine as far as im aware. The rears are very bucket like yes.

[Scott]

They are incredibly slow though across the board, if it's raining you end up standing there and just getting soaked if you have passengers who need to get in the back. It may well be that they were quicker when they were first brought out and the motors have got tired and runners clogged with dust/crap so a clean up may help them out a little.

[swampy]

It's only the cars with leather that have the electric seats.

Tip for passengers, if I have them in the back then when they get out I leave the seat forward makes it much easier and quicker to get back in

My kids have done many miles in the back of the coupe and both ar seats fit fine

[C.A.R.]

How old are your kids though Swampy? We have a stage 1 MaxiCosi Cabriofix seat which isn't that bulky at the moment but in the next few months she will need a stage 2+ seat. These are even bulkier and I know the Coupe doesn't have isofix (as standard anyway).

I think I'm pretty much knackered.

Be useful if the leathers could be converted to manual slide too, as it was the one thing which stood out to me as being a PITA.

[swampy]

We have had my son in the coupe since he was born.

And the eldest on a booster seat

[Toms306]

Its about time you let him out then really...

[Stephen]

Hahaha I thought that too Tom

Tom told a joke!
