I have a knocking noise on the front suspension when pulling off, and when coming to a stop. Any ideas? No one can find the problem.
I bought the car as a temporary measure. Originally we needed a large car for our camping gear, and were looking for a Mondeo Estate TDCI.
Now though we are going to keep the 405 as it's such a good car.
The mpg is fantastic! I get 850+ miles from a single tank of fuel.
I drive a 405 diesel without turbo (1991).
The fuel consumption is just amazing!
More details? 58 MPG (4.8l/100km) is the average we had last time when we were on vacation (summer 2007) in Denmark.
That is: 40% express highway (max. speed 130 km/h), 60% secondary highway (max. 90 km/h) - three persons + luggages!
I bought the car in Feb. 2007 with 180.000 on the clock (first owner).
I had to replace the timing belt, fit a new catalytic converter. Replace the filter cartridge for the motor fuel. Replace the motor oil... that's all so far.
The whole family is very happy with the car!
