ALL sorted now , thanks , please dont ask what we did , as we have no idea !

Just let you know , I have joined the Coupe owners club forum , makes sense really . Thanks for all your replies , enjoyed exchanging views with you all . BTW , I will be posting under Markthelark. Mark

Def sounds like an electrical prob , don't know much on this engine , but it must have a fuel pump relay somewhere , or even a dodgy connection on the ignition switch. Think you would be better getting an auto electrician out.

Funny enough , I sat i a 525 yesterday , not so clostro as the 3 series , also have read alot on the 3.0 v 2.0 , and yes they can be just as economical if driven right ! The choice is really down to the wife , so just need her to make her mind up , then find a good one , whatever it is !

Done a 1.9d head gasket a couple of years ago , straight forward and only £19.99 , the belt and pump had only been on for 1000miles , so left them on.Engine had done 130k , now done 175k with no prob's , starts first time and get 60 plus easy on a run ! BTW Pete , don't you ever sleep ? I'am...

Cheers for that pete , Will let you know when/if we get one, but confident it wont be too long. The 406 2.1 estate I had as a stop gap between vans , had it for about 6 months , loaded it once with 30 bags of ballast for a job , great car , comfy and nice drive, could easily drive 500 miles...

Cheers for the link. Had planned to do so as soon as my wife was sure she wanted one , still haven't had a drive yet ! Just wanted some unbiased responses first , not just on the coupe , but the pug 406 / C5 range too , mainly the Hdi engine range.

Hi Peter , Have been looking at epay/autotrader for a few weeks now , prob is they are usually too far away , but have emailed the blue se thats just been listed at a start of £1200 . Have been looking at a red se about 80 miles away , dealer asking £1500 but said he'd take £1300 , only prob...

Take them off and remap !!! Better mpg , smoother running , more power , NO LIMP MODE trips homes ! Whilst your'e at it , take the inside of the cat out too. Still pass MOT ! Just google your car and the the word "defap"

Nice to hear people enjoying their PSA engined vehicles , I have had a couple of 1.9d and a 2.1td , no probs with over 300,000 between them. I know the coupe 2.2Hdi is not as economical as the others , but whats a few mpg between friends. Anyone out there know of a Coupe for sale ?????

Thanks for that last post , food for thought. It does have a camshaft sensor , aswell as non standard cams. The second lamda sensor has been connected and screwed into what looks like a made for the job enclosed tube, this has been cable tied to the brake pipes and has been work ok for...

Cheap as chips , loads of car for the money ! But want a Coupe really , just put an advert on Preloved. Am I right in thinking the 406 coupe 2.2Hdi has a DMF ? Also , cambelt os every 96K ? I done a 406 1.9td R reg clutch recently , standard clutch on that !
