I know a good therapist.... Having driven your 405, which seemed perfect to me, I have to say I think a lot of your disappointment maybe because you don't really want one...

Mines gonna cost me about £2600 next week, it can’t be worth any more than 10k. I’ve only done 1500 miles this year. Questioning my sanity too…. 🤣

Yup get a 5 litre , expecting a revelatory experience in an old full fat might be too tall an order |

New shocks on each corner will fix the bouncy ride and an EGR delete may fix the laggy engine response. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

He tried new shocks all round along with lots of other bits and reckoned it was just the same, and that was across three fatties IIRC.... Pete

New shocks definatley improved mine after 170k miles on the old ones. Maybe slightly harder ride ( vastly improved with new tyres) but way better body control during changes of direction. I guess it depends how worn the original shocks were. Mine were still fully functional just not optimal. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I wear-out shocks in 80K Kms where I drive, although I put up with the worn CVDs by recalibrating until around 130K Kms because of their high replacement cost. |

Never found the calibration feature in the GAP IID tool to do anything noticable. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I openly admit that everything points to me being the problem and not the cars.

For the heavy steering, you could try unplugging the electrical connector on the servotronic valve on the neck of the rack to check that the steering is then heavier at slow speed, as evidence that the valve is working. You could also check that the gauze in the bottom of the reservoir isn't mostly blocked, or simply whilst idling that there is significant disturbance in the reservoir indicating good surplus capacity from the pump. |

When we look back, it's often in fondness.
