THE_Liam's 406 HDI

[THE_Liam]

So, no secret that I hated the 300D. After the frankly brilliant 190E, it was an absolute dog, needed loads of work, can't believe I bought it actually, now I know how Tom feels!

I had a few requirements for the replacement, considering I only want a daily/caravan dragger:

- Simple and reliable
- Economical
- Cheap
- Comfy
- Tow bar (because they are proper expensive!)
- Grunty enough to drag a small caravan

I reckon I've ticked all the boxes with this. I managed to part exchange the 300D for £50 less than I paid for it so didn't lose too much, the dealer didn't drive it before he agreed to take it, but that's his poor judgement as far as I'm concerned.















So, this will be handy:



Tidy inside:



Only issue really is the weird tape deck, can't get any of my tapes to fit:



It isn't perfect, it has a slightly rumbly CV joint on full right lock and a few dents and scratches but otherwise it drives lovely and everything works! Probably paid a bit over the odds but I was just glad to find someone who'd have that shed of a Merc.

So, I've found my way home to French shite with a pussy on the badge
