Can't help but wonder how badly the gasket has gone - if seriously overheated (like my XUD9TE 306 must have done, ahead of my ownership) could be looking for a new head?

Re: Classic for under £10K
Cheap 405 needing some work:
No link to seller, posh looking seats, generally looks well looking at the pictures.

Identical colour to my second 405 although mine was a 1.9TD... They really are suburb cars... Among Peugeot's very finest along with the 205 and 306

Re: Classic for under £10K
Not a classic yet but I seem to remember someone looking for one of these in the last few weeks?

Re: Classic for under £10K
That is a worrying idea Gibbo, it fits in with the timing too but I'm not sure Bob would be able to add an extra day!!

Re: Classic for under £10K
If you click through to the pictures of the instrument panel on that XM you will see that the tacho is showing tickover and the temp guage is off the scale.
I questioned the seller about that and this is the response I got:
the engine temp guage works from the top doen on those cars
Comments anyone?

Re: Classic for under £10K
After challenging that statement, I got this back:
RING CITROEN IDONT KNOW I KNOW ITS NOT OVERHEATING
Won't be bidding on that then!!
Those comments should be on the listing now!

Re: Classic for under £10K
If the dial goes straight to overheating then I'd have thought it's either a duff or shorted temp sensor or wiring ?

Re: Classic for under £10K
Clearly clueless.
Could at least have said that it showed no evidence of overheating and was probably a faulty sensor.
I wouldn't buy anything from him, nice as it looks.
