spose i better start this in here, this is my daily. 405 glx DT,
![[Image: my6umaba.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/11/my6umaba.jpg)
iv pretty much got there with upgrading the running gear/exterior/interior so its time for some more power.
the engine is in a pretty sorry state, it leaks and uses oil and water, starts like crap, the clutch is slipping and its due belts.
Decided it will be easier to build something up over summer/autumn/winter and drop it in when this one expires.
Iv always wanted this car to be the diesel sports saloon peugeot would have built. A derv mi16 if you will. So want about 150-160bhp (but obviously more is better)
Iv done td04s etc before so want something different.
Options I have thrown about are xud11 (on a bosch), hdi conversion (a lot of work) a rebuilt XUD with VNT or BB turbo.
My favourite at the mo is the illusive m-hdi, (my history is with mech DI engines in lands and rovers)
What are peeps opinions of these?
ill post more pics and bits from the build so far when i find bits.

Omg that's beautiful. All of the want
Oh, and the xud11 is the engine the 405 should have always had so definitely that

Such a cool looking car! Been really wanting a 4x4 (t16?) one of these since I saw a video of one doing donuts in the snow! Belter.

I only suggested gearbox mount because i think your pretty stuck for space down the back with the XUD11, might be a different story in a 405 though!

Nice to see these still getting some love! Really miss my old NAD one. Cost me £70, everything on it worked and it plain refused to die 
High speed, magic carpet ride, awesomeness across any road surface!
Gearbox mount VNT naturally gets my vote.

lol, tell me about it. Those days are long gone  Scrap price was thru the floor and you had to pay to have cars taken away if you didn't want to MOT it!
My best buy was a C plate Audi coupe 1.8 in metallic purple, barely a mark on it but a seized clutch and needed a battery. Literally carried a battery from home to the car, it started first touch, drove it up the road flat out in first, stamped on the brakes and pulled handbrake up to stop it as fast as possible, clutch broke itself free, pedal popped up to where it should be, checked the gears, reversed back and said cheers mate and drove off Best £20 I ever spent!!!
Still miss the 405 more tho. What do they go for now?

I got an Alfa 75 V6 for £100 because it had worn stem seals and more filler than Jordans tits, smoked around in it for 6 months then broke it for a total of £1400

I do love these to bits! 1st car I ever drove was a 405 D estate, My dad nearly gave me that for a 1st car, if I was old enough, for what he was giving for it in part ex. I even offered to buy it off him, but my wages were not high enough to buy it from him! ( cover the part ex price)
my dad tho did give me a 406 but sadly he decided to sell that before I got the chance to fix it, as I would have build that instead of the rover metro!

Lol, fair play, that's good going. That's some breaker. Bet you got thru some juice tho! I bet the 405 saved me that? Tescos cooking juice was 37p a litre then. At one point I was getting 30p a mile from work for travelling. Happy days

Yeah I remember when I first started driving buying fiestas with 8-10 months tax and test for £100. My best deal was being given a uno turbo for free that needed minor welding. Mot'ed it spent £200 on tuning bits and raced everything for over a year till I wrote it off.
Then broke it and made £1500.

If you decide to go down the m-tdi route i have my old pujmp i build, 12mm DI spec pump, was ran on my 16v mtdi, would be suitable for 8v/16v.
mtdi with a vnt is the way fowards here imo
