Hi,

I'm going to see GJ 57 NXR tomorrow (hopefully) which I see is in the register as belonging to user Disco300.

(I have a 407 (2.2 HDi) which has a lot in common so I have an idea of what I'm getting myself into.)

So I was wondering if that car has a reputation here?
Is it a well known lemon? Or does it generally behave?

Apparently it's had megabucks spent on the suspension. What is that likely to be?

It looks like I need to pay attention to:
* thermostat housing
* coolant pipe at front passenger side
* autobox (has it had an oil change, does it change smoothly)

Anything I should add to this list?

I have the RT4 in my 407, but this looks like it has an RD4.
On the one hand that's a definite downgrade. On the other hand the RT4 isn't great anyway. Are there any common mods, e.g., Android tablet?

Ta,
rwb.

I tried to get an upgrade for my RT5 (to get DAB) but nothing available. It is, however, available for P407 so with some modification to the screen connection it should/might be possible. My Citroen garage even asked me to check out the RT 6 unit on newer PSA's but to prepare for some modification to the screen and connection.

Sorry, this website is really bad on mobile.

OK: been to see one today. Had diagbox on it and it's riddled. Cleared and rear EGR and "reference heights not programmed".

Is it worth having at thebrigjt price? Or should I run away?

Rear door glass drops when you open the door but doesn't work on either switch. What's that going to be?
