[MissTap_GTI6]

Can I have the wheels?
Thanks x

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

[Pete]

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

Is that a lamp post in that pic? ....

[CJ_Derv]

Not bad but youve got rid of yours for un-reliability and got another f*cking peugeot pfft

[Matt]

I was expecting something a lot more impressive

[Grant]

Words fail me...

[THE_Liam]

Am I the only one who thinks these are brilliant?!?!

They map to 180bhp easily and get 50mpg on a run, and they look amazing!

[samass]

Meh....

[C.A.R.]

98,000+ miles, dent in the front wing, needs a new offside-rear light cluster and offside front wing has a big dent in it. Rear bumper paint looks damaged from the pictures too. Undesirable colour and there appears to be wear on the drivers seat bolster.

I'd say £1650 is about the going rate, hardly a bargain dude. Dealer would have got that in for a fair bit less...

Found the advert on AT...

[Grant]

Just seems a bit odd to have gone from a peugeot diesel saloon, to a... peugeot diesel saloon (well coupe if you reaaaaly want to nitpick)

Happy for ya to get a new car though mate. Enjoy it.

i would never have guessed that. did the fact that its 0.1 liters bigger have anything to do with the decision to sell the sedan?

Every little helps!!!

I was expecting more of a 'wow' tbh but fair play! They just look slightly dated these days.

I'm sure you'll get it looking epic soon though, big blower on the cards? Finish off your ideas you had for your estate?

[Poodle]

Looks good to me fella, still not sure I like the wheels though...

[Just Sean]

It looks like its squinting

[Toms306]

Well, that was anti-climax!

Really not a fan of 406 coupes tbh though.

My thoughts exactly, the 6-spoke ones on the earlier 2.0/3.0 ones are nicer, these are the only ones that come on the HDI though.

[Oil-burner]

Those are 16" hogar wheels iirc. I fancied a set for the sedan a while.
I keep looking at these, always fancied one. Not a big fan of the silver tho but fair play.

Well Chris has just been round to plug PP in (and leave a puddle of oil outside my house).

This thing has more faults than tom has had shits!

[1616six]

Was it bought privately or at a garage?

Mother of God!!!

Get on over to the coupe forum some good knowledge on there

Look better in the dark blue (like mine) and really should have the v6 in to match the looks.

With 200bhp and that amazing noise I can live with the low mpg

[Poodle]

Thanks to the faults this thing is only achieving 39 lol, is nice though, very comfy.

Pah even with a jammed open thermostat making the car run on cold setting all the time the alfa got 45mpg around town and no need to remap as its already running 175bhp

[Niall]

Well, after going outside, ive just seen the big f*ck off puddle of oil it has left outside my house. Probably 60cm x60cm!

Typical dum dum spec car! lol

Sounds like the 1st coupe I left a deposit on.

Dealer phones up and says they have discoverd an oil leak when it was in for Mot, says its nothing major but would knock £100 if I agreed to get it fixed myself.

So thinking it was ok when I viewed it nothing major could be wrong, went to collect the car and asked to be shown the leak.
Dealer just points me in the direction of the car, walking up to it I can see a nice puddle on the floor, get down to have a look and it was visably dripping off the side of the under tray!!

Told the dealer I wasn't buying it in that condition, he tried to argue over giving me my deposit back as he had mot and taxed the car, told him that's fine but expect a visit from trading standards.
He was soon in the safe and counting the money back out

[Toms306]

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

[Pete]

My HDI van leaks vital fluids all over the shop However they are cracking workhorses though, As Naill says they're pretty much bombproof.

Tom in all honesty how many 11-20yr old cars do you know of without little issues?
You go out and find another car of the same age in better condition!
Golfs have all rotten away from this era!
If you dont like dealing with the odd issues you are bound to get go get a new car on one of those just add fuel deals.
