I have now had ENOUGH
« on: 19 April 2009, 22:23:34 »
... of Front Wheel Drive French heavy cars, with 90bhp and a 0-60 in one week.

Having just done major overhaul work on the 406 TD, I am totally un-inspired.

I'm also quite carked off that following the rebuild, I have one leaky seal  ::)

They are great cars, and the one I have will go on for a long time - it's just not the same after owning a miggy  :'(

Anyhoo - this time next week I'll have a Miggy V6 to tinker with  8-)

Little expense - more time, really.

TB - They're not too bad actually - have a 6 car a year limit, so I have to comply with that  ;D

406 Rubbish build quality and megga expensive parts.
Atleast the engine control module hasnt failed yet, you would realy have a reason to complain if and when it does.

really James, what do you expect from a French car? Never in a million years. And never ever over a meega surely? Better on fuel, ok, but at what price?

Welcome back by the way. :-)

I had a 405 L reg 1.9 non Turbo diesel - wouldn't win any races at all, painfully slow - but it just went on, and on, and on...  :y

Unfortunately though, I like a little more poke. Plus, what I've saved in petrol in recent months will justtify the Omega, Maria...  ;D
