General Comments:

Typical cheap, tatty Peugeot workman ship, a slight improvement on the smaller vehicles in the Peugeot range i. e the 205.

Good fuel economy... but it was a Diesel!

Good size car, mine was the estate model, plenty of room for all passengers, loads of boot space.

Faults:

Heater hose burst shortly after buying the car.

The alternator was replaced.

Brake switch underneath the brake pedal failed - easily replaced for under £5.

Rear brake pads replaced - watch out for sticking calipers on the rear brakes.

Drinks oil - 1-2 litres every 2 weeks - valve stem oil seals?

Radiator requires topping up every week.

May be losing water from the heater matrix?

General Comments:

This car requires regular attention to keep it in good running order.

A responsive car - lovely to drive - great handling and fantastic brakes.

Body work has no rust, but now looking shabby.

Carb replacement.

Front wheel bearings.

Rear brake cylinders.

Front shocks are shot.

Handbrake cable.

Front O/S caliper.

Water leak.

Front O/S door hinges.

Gearbox syncromesh.

More to add...

General Comments:

This car has been less than reliable. Goes OK for a few weeks, then something else goes wrong. Which of course means spending more money.

Faults:

Oil leak from O ring seal around distributor.

Faulty heater blower fan.

Boot leaks water which is a pain because I transport a lot of computer equipment.

Nothing too serious though.

General Comments:

When I bought the car from a local dealer (Parkhills garage, Bury), it was supposed to be a 1.9 8V petrol. Low performance got me suspicious about the CC of the engine and on closer inspection the engine had been replaced with a 1.6 8v petrol without informing the DVLC (naughty). I have since taken the car back to the garage and had the engine exchanged for a 1.9 8v petrol. The car has a lot more performance now (I've reached 130 mph on a stretch of motorway at 2 o'clock one morning, scary stuff). Performance seems a little slower now than when I had the engine changed 8 months ago but I think it just needs a tune up and service.

Reasonable spec central locking, electric sunroof although not windows, no power steering but it's quite light none the less. Good performance and cheaper to insure than similar spec cars eg. Cavaliers and Sierras.

Faults:

Brake sensors failing, ABS pump switch not working on warm days (?), sunroof cables snapping, central locking plays up.

My car has covered 160,000 miles without a hint of engine or gearbox troubles. It's only let down by silly little things as mentioned above. a very sturdy car.
