Skizzer Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 That looks VERY nice. Well done. I need lots of tales of electrickeral disastrousness and non-firing cylinders now, to stop me feeling so jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 You can tell it's well looked after as those polished split rim wheels are nightmare to keep in that condition. Most are are bubbled and horrible. Will go far (as the petrol station).I got 20mpg out of my 740i so I recon with lpg this will be almost livable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonbennet Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Lovely car, bet the old boys gutted to be selling it, i would, the wheels are spectacular, meaty boots too, you have a bargain there....rest of the summer spent fully rustproofing this fine steed? By the way you know thats it now doncha, once you've gone LPG you don't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereHareHere Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 LPG savings off to a poor start: £100 extra on the premium! Wankers. At least the old chap left 3/4 of a tank of pez in (and three months' tax - SCORE). He's taken it into the dealer to get the a/c sorted - and the wheels rebalanced, which I didn't even ask him to. BTW Taff it wasn't actually Swindon but a nice little village 3 miles outside - this guy is STRAIGHT OUTTA WROUGHTON. Those rims aren't quite as unblemished as they look in the pics. Actually one is - the one that used to be the spare before the LPG tank took its place. Anyone fancy a silver 02-plate 406 V6 coupe? 100k, cambelt done, 9 months ticket, ace history, ace nick, literally no issues and goes like a pilled-up fucker thanks to a sport-mode footswitch mod. Stainless exhaust, electric leather, cruise, CD changer, auto lights/wipers, Everything works except the driver's heated seat. I know I'm wasting my time trying to flog this here, but doing so allows me to feel as if I'm taking affirmative action. In the meantime: I AM THE LORD OF THE SHITE SAID HE. Though I do still have a Rover 75 Tourer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the old chap left 3/4 of a tank of pez in (and three months' tax - SCORE). Have a bloody good search round when its renewal time and tell your present shyters to stick it up their arse, they've taken the piss cos you're mid term i s'pose. Never paid a single penny extra for LPG cover, just had the Outback converted, no charge with Saga, their underwriter looked it up on the LPG register online to confirm it was a registered conversion whilst t'mrs was on the dog to 'em and that was it. Just out of interest when we changed cars, they covered the Mitsi we sold on for an extra month or more like 5 weeks by doing us a very well priced new policy for it, circa £200 for the year, we just got £166 back from 'em, so they beat the day insure type operations by a country mile and could not have been nicer to deal with, will be trying our best to stay with them, £12 admin charge ISTR which is bloody cheap.

richardmorris Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Actually I was looking at 406 coupés before I bought the merc coupé. But I'm not looking to change at the moment - good luck with the sale, and the new beemer. Pop-up headlamps FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereHareHere Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for the insur-o-tips, GB. Flogging-the-406-wise I have just suffered a terrible bereavement in the SD card department. Pending photos, here are the modestly adulterated bare bones of my forthcoming eBay listing: Satellite grey, V6 D9 (210bhp) auto coupe 99k (mileage will rise slightly as still in use) [this is my eBay-friendly way of saying I clocked the 100k yesterday] Cambelt changed at 76k, Oct 2009MOT Jan 2015 (no advisories)Tax Aug 2014 Full service history (and I mean FULL – all receipts/MOTs/11 stamps in the book – last service at 95k) Six new ignition coils (improved durability ‘white top’)New engine mountingsNew crank pulleyNew brake pads (er, arriving from Germany later today - ATE brand, supposedly proven not to squeal like a bastard as Brembos are wont to)New bonnet and boot gas strutsA/C recharge (ice-cold, functioning perfectly)New bonnet release cableAuto gearbox oil flush and change (recommended at 100k) Powerflow stainless steel exhaust 'Starfish' alloys in very good condition (small kerb scuffing on one – the spare is better) Owned by 406coupeclub member (acquired from another club member) Avon and Kuhmo tyres, plenty of tread6 CD changerJBL speaker system with amplifierHead unit with iPod adaptor cableSteering wheel audio controlsAuto-dim rear view mirrorElectric seat with memory functionCruise controlAuto headlights and wipersHeated seats (driver’s-side function intermittent)Recent ‘Planet Peugeot’ onboard diagnostic analysis – no fault codes showing. Black leather interiorOnboard computer with remote controlSlight scuffing on driver’s seat piping (much better than most of this age)Electric mirrors with fold-in functionSatellite greyEnthusiast owned for last 8 yearsPeugeot over matsPaintwork generally excellent with the odd very minor stone chip and scratch – see photos (ptth)One of the best around, excellent inside and out, mechanically perfect, a rapid, reliable, comfortable and extremely handsome car that will be sorely missed. A smart and very well maintained example of this bona fide future classic blah blah bollocks blah. £1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
