1999 Peugeot 406 LS Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Stylish, spacious, and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I had in 2 and 1/2 years of running this car was the common fault of the airbag warning light flashing. This is quickly solved by removing the connector below the front seats, and soldering the wires together, as the car was outside its warranty period (1yr) this cost £40.00 plus VAT, I would have done it myself had I known!
General comments?
The Estate is a phenomenal car, extremely spacious, stylish and comfortable. It drove beautifully, easily cruising on the German highways. The LS was a special edition which included 6 CD auto-changer, pearlescent paint, and if I remember rightly, the electric windows and air con were also part of the package. My only problem was the rapid decline in fuel economy if the car was driven hard, but this is equal to all cars.
