Common problems
Common Peugeot 406 problems we fix
These are the issues we see most often on the 406. Whatever the symptom, we diagnose first and explain the fix before any work starts.
Suspension and steering
Twenty-plus years of roads wear out bushes, ball joints and steering components. We restore the 406's famously smooth ride.
02Cooling system
Radiators, hoses and thermostats are due attention on cars this age, and overheating is the quickest way to damage an engine.
03Electrical faults
Ageing wiring, switches and sensors cause intermittent faults. We trace them properly instead of guessing.
04Hard-to-find parts
Many 406 parts are no longer easy to buy. We keep stock and know where to find the rest.

Message us your 406's year and what's going on, plus a photo or video if you can. We'll tell you what to expect before you come in. Open 8:30 AM – 6 PM, every day except Thursday.
