I bought this 405 to bomb around Europe in over the summer with friends. Unfortunately finances have halted the trip. It's been sat for a few weeks now since I drove it from Newcastle back down here. No issues over those 350 miles and it started up first time when I tried it yesterday.
It does have a couple of issues that are apparently common with 405s. There is a slight oil leak from the top end of the engine, The immobiliser can be a bit funny, The heater is stuck on warm air but off/on and direction work. Left the factory with Air Conditioning.
Other things are small like the steering wheel is a bit worn out, pedals are a bit stiff but seemed to improve a little on the journey back. The drivers door key barrel doesn't work. I think someone has taken the door apart as the electric windows go the opposite way than expected.
Unfortunately I don't have much documentation for the car. It wasn't a worry for me as it was going to get painted up, hammered around the continent then offed. V5 and last MOT are here though and looks to have been serviced regularly as the previous owner assured me.
Overall a lot better than the grubby worn out old mules on Gumtree recently. Enough little niggles to still be good value for the inclined fixer.
