Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Monday, 26 March 2007. I've never bought a car privately - our two previous cars and our current one were all bought from dealers. Only the second, a rather good looking 1994 Mazda 323F, was sold privately, so I'm rather new to the whole business of buying cars from complete strangers. Has ensured that only trade sales were likely to get a look in. So - do I understand the additional risks of buying privately? Links to this post.

A Peugeot Blog: Strange Goings-on in the Fuel Tank
http://406-coupe.blogspot.com/2007/05/strange-goings-on-in-fuel-tank.html
Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Thursday, 24 May 2007. Strange Goings-on in the Fuel Tank. When I got the Coupé back from Essex LPG, there was very little petrol left in the tank. It uses petrol to start the engine and pressurise the LPG fuel lines, so I put £10-worth in. Talking to Alan this morning, it seems that both the gauge and the computer update themselves by monitoring how much fuel is supplied to the engine, and only reset when more fuel is added to the t...

Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Tuesday, 8 July 2008. Inspired by the first, and so far only, comment on this blog, I've compiled a bit of an update on how things have been going with the Coupé over the year or so since I last posted. There have been one or two hiccoughs along the way, not least when a nice lady (not! But on the first time I took it to my local garage for investigation. They reset the fault and it didn't come back. Links to this post.

http://406-coupe.blogspot.com/2013/06/for-sale.html
Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Tuesday, 25 June 2013. The time has come for the Coupe and I to part company. More than six years and nearly 150,000 miles - I've spent months of my life in this car. The aim of this post is to record a few of the good points about this car, and to be honest about the 'issues' that it has. Sine I bought it in 2007. It runs well (see below! Rust on bonnet - does not penetrate. Rust stain around LPG port - some paint bubbling. Crease b...

Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Thursday, 12 April 2007. Well, yesterday was the big day. The trip from home to Southampton was an eventful four -and-a-half hours, via London in the rush hour, the less said about which the better. I had settled on the 2001 2.0 'S', which was for sale with Nicholas Johnston Cars. So, after fur months of waiting and over two of blogging, I've finally got a 406 Coupé. And here it is. Links to this post. Wednesday, 4 April 2007. The fi...

Notes on finding, buying, converting and running a second-hand Peugeot. Wednesday, 4 April 2007. Well, I finally got a call from Potential Future Boss #1 last Friday, telling me that I would be offered the position we had discussed. So, time to stop faffing around and actually buy a car. I've been looking at used car adverts for three months, so now was the time to leap into action and buy myself a shiny Peugeot 406 Coupé. The first car on my list, mentioned. Sunroofs are a no-no. I called the dealer,.

Ramblings of a Bad Fairy. Ramblings, lots of ramblings! Ramblings generated by being a happily married mum of two and then discovering at the age of 40 that you have secondary breast cancer.
