RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - THE_Liam - 07-04-2015
So, bit of an update. I've done f*ck all to it, really just enjoying driving a car with no issues. Keep spotting V6 coupe alloys and trying to snipe them cheap but no luck yet.
What I have noticed is it's brilliant on juice. I filled it up when I bought it, now 3 weeks on after 380 miles of almost all town work and some caravan dragging it's down to a quarter of a tank!

Coupe wheels ftw
Only issue you may find is that they take a funny size tyre that not many garages stock 215/55/r16
I went to 205/50 to match the lowered suspension on mine and stiffer sidewall with a slight tyre stretch
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - THE_Liam - 17-04-2015
Thanks for the tip mate. I'll try Blackcircles or Camskill. Oh, and it did 515 miles on that tank!
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Pete - 18-04-2015
I found it cheapest just to buy some more wheels with decent 215/55 tyres on them lol

To be fair on an old shitter like this I'd probably just get some cheap part-worns [emoji38]

no awning?
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Rippthrough - 18-04-2015
Pete's is on 205's now too
Felt a bit floaty on 215's for my liking.
I don't know why you're struggling to find some heated leather seats though, I open the door and there they are.

RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Rippthrough - 19-04-2015
Yeah, the engine makes the coupe really, the handling isn't a patch on the 306 mind.
Yet.
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Dum-Dum - 19-04-2015
Caravan looks good, defo needs an awning though.

That's a flash car youve got there mister
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - THE_Liam - 30-04-2015
Bollocks, snapped a spring backing out of the drive! Thank f*ck that didn't happen at speed...

bad crac that liam!
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Danny Wideboy - 01-05-2015
Broke my neck finding out what the problem was, but dang, lucky it was low speed dood.
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Poodle - 03-05-2015
That's a pretty little mess, thank fook it went on the driveway mate.
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Bailes1992 - 03-05-2015
They go on these usually because the top mount has siezed and has put stress on the spring.
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Paul_13 - 03-05-2015
I got some strange looks turning my phone upside down
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Toms306 - 03-05-2015
Who designed these 'fatter in the middle' springs, such a dangerous idea! Didn't realise 406s USed them tbh.
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Rippthrough - 03-05-2015
It's to get more travel out of a given spring height
RE: THE_Liam's 406 HDI - Toms306 - 03-05-2015
Fair enough, makes sense. Still don't like them lol. Seen 2 cases of them wrecking the tyre when they snap myself, scaled up it must be happening to loads of cars!
