I thought this may be of interest given some of the comments after the 406 V6 SoTW thread:
A Laguna V6 Baccara, though that name suggests to me it should be metallic brown with full beige leather.

Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole nailed on the end of another barge pole.A Laguna V6 Baccara, though that name suggests to me it should be metallic brown with full beige leather.

£600 worth of Clio 182
3 weeks mot and a intermittent engine light , what could possibly go wrong ?
Has some sort of cone induction kit so hopefully changing that to stock plus a service and spark plugs should sort the engine light.
Cars run home will be from north Devon over exmoor into Somerset so that'll see how healthy it is or not .

If your fixes work, that's a lot of car for a steal!
My swapsies Puma is a cracking little thing, it'll do me for the summer and then I'll probably swap it for an estate for the winter. 9-5 or V70, ideally.
Not sure if this is a borky engine... seems clean though. Wasn’t sure wether to put this in here or the barge thread

Luckily i've managed to get a mot slot weds so a week later and the new mot would of failed on oil leak , engine light etc.
Engine light i'll swop the filter to standard , new plugs if that doesn't sort it i guess injectors , ht leads and if it's a total heap i still have the puma to fall back on .

I know pretty much everything about a 2.2hdi,great engine and remap to 200 bhp pretty much standard. There are auto mode as well,but the fap system is s
t and you can remove it and they run pretty much smoke free without it but might not pass mot.
i guess you don't need to worry about it blowing up because of the remap because it will just blow up on its own anyway!t and you can remove it and they run pretty much smoke free without it but might not pass mot.Blown2CV said:

Admittedly it wasn’t mapped & It didn’t blow up!!

I assume it’s the same hdi unit in a Citroen C5. If so I had one & got 205k out of it , sold it after 4 days on gumtree.

Here we go then the £600 Clio 182.
Cel - missfire cylinder 1
Abs - light on , advisory last mot abs ring corroded and brake pedal seems a bit soft compared to how I remember my cup .
I forgot how hard core the clutches are on these , proper left leg work out.
In for a mot weds before the new mot comes into force.

We'll see , it goes in for mot tomorrow.
I've been thrashing the pants off it over exmoor and despite having a misfire the engine pulls really strongly.
Hopefully the misfire is old spark plugs or induction kit.
Brakes are a but soft and juddery and suspension is a bit tired .
So tomorrow my £500 puma is back in service, ever reliable .
