My clock is equally accurate albeit almost certainly at different times. I'm afraid I have put off getting it fixed as I haven't had much luck previously. I had the one on the 403 upgraded with an...

There are at least two options for the headlights. When I upgraded the 403 I went for maximum light output and was surprised to find I had to fit a driver unit which was too big to fit in the...

LED upgrade
I am told that LED upgrades to pre 1986 cars are now legal and have changed the lot on the 406. Pretty straightforward and excellent results. The dashboard lights are now bright enough that I might...

406 wiring
Does anyone know if a wiring diagram was published for the 406?
The 404/405 and 407/408 workshop manuals are of some help but lacking what I need. The 406 handbook doesn't seem to have a diagram.

My memory is letting me down. As Dodd says the reverse switch is on the shift lever and the neutral inhibit on the gearbox. A bit of research suggests that the culprit in your case is the lever...
