Probably a wide topic but here goes. I know that you would expect a diesel
engine to go for many miles (2001 HDI has done 97k already and shows no

Driving home today, engine management light came on, and 'Antipollution
Fault' message appeared on the little screen.  Obviously still under

traffic for lengthy spells, so I am not sure if this ammount of water top up
per week is normal. I cannot find any leaks anywhere either ...

I have a 406 2.0L Petrol on approx 80,000 miles. It has a lot of free play
in the drive train causing heavy clonking on taking up and releasing the
drive. Driveshafts seem fine. I'm hoping it might just be wear in the
clutch plate hub, as this wouldn't be too bad to fix, but not ...

I have just bought a 406 HDi 110 bhp Estate, and am very pleased with it.
However as I have never had a turbo car before either petrol or diesel. What
