Well, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that my plans to leave french cars in favour of a Rover 420sdi have suffered a setback caused by my purchase of what may be another ebay bargain ( 3 of 3 now ) - a 405 STDT estate !
Needless to say, the 2.0 GTX estate will soon be up for sale. A shame because it's a great car, but I simply can't afford £15 per day on fuel ( and boy do I miss the torque of the turbo diesel ).
No need to welcome me back - I've not been away

Hi
This STDT, Does it have the green & black interior?
The reason I asked is I have a set of the front seat material in my loft, One set still has the cushions on, FREE to any 405 STDT / STI owner who collects them
I bought a pair of STDT front seats just to nick the electric motors & frames for my old 405 Executive & I never threw the covers away lol
Im also sure theres a set of 4 x door cards up there minus the wood clip on trim & the passenger one is minus the door bin at the moment ( Got a spare door bin though ) Also FREE.

Hi Lee,
Yes it is that interior. The seat materials will probably be no use to me, but the door cards will - since the left rear door is locked shut, and you can bet your life I'll end up cutting through / ruining the trim on that door !
Where abouts in the country are you ?
PS. The car is a gem. 317 quid won the auction. The interior is perfect, the exterior more surprisingly so !
A few gremlins - the thermostat needs replacing / inserting ! and for some reason the right headlight and the left rear sidelight are reluctant to stay on Otherwise, it pulls like a train, and is rattle free.

Hi
I am in Northampton & thats junction 15 off the M1.
Anybody who wants the seat trims & the door trims is welcome to them if they pick them up
Ive nicked the wood trim of all the door cards but they are just clipped on & take seconds to swop over & The front passenger side one has had the black door bin removed but I have a spare to replace it with.
Also got a load of dash switches & electric window switches to give away too.

I'd be interested in taking the door cards off you - but I won't be able to collect until the 2nd wekend in April. Is that OK ?
I've changed the themostat - there was no coolant in the housing - and there was rust on the thermostat.
I only had to put 1L of coolant in to have it come out of the housing, and I've put a new thermo in - there are no signs of pressure building in the rad ( recently replaced by prev owner ), and the matrix pipes are hot - and hot air is now coming through to the cabin - so I think it was an 'oversight' from the 'mechanic' who replaced the rad..
