Functional, subject to all the door locks working
The rear door lock has now completely failed after several months of intermittent failure. This is a major issue since the car can't now be secured.
Handling is a little skittish on greasy roads and ice.

Hard wearing family transport which is great fun to drive
Minor rattles on the interior of car.
Brilliant no nonsense family car with loads of useful storage, plenty of leg room for rear seat passengers, easy to keep clean, very light and airy interior, and a decent sized boot for all the things you carry with a family.

Excellent example of small delivery van
Rear Fog light switch broke at 1000 miles.
Bought this van new and spent extra to get the HDI engine.
This engine is vastly superior to the standard 1.9 and I would highly recommend you test drive this version.
Loads of space, very comfortable, handles and rides like a car.

A very functional, practical, hard wearing and comfortable van
Two injectors failed at separate times, expensive to replace.
Intermittent wipers didn't work.
Immobilser occasionally played up, causing it not to start a few times.
Two exhausts in 5 months.
All three door locks became worn and started sticking.
Traveling an average of 200 miles a day, I was always comfortable in the seat.
It has loads of storage space in the front, much more than any other van I have driven.
Very good driving position and visibility, excellent controls except for the gear change (typical of peugeot).
This van is slow and very boring on the motorway, but it's nippy enough to enjoy driving around town. It's surprisingly agile on twisty roads and grips and handles well.
It drives pretty well fully loaded.
I did 17000 miles in 4 months, and pushed it to the limit constantly. Considering the mileage when I got it, it stood up very well - I would highly recommend it.

Hi mate, I've got a Partner HDi and I love it. It's chipped to 120 bhp, it's got unbelievable performance in the midrange.
Hi.
I've just bought my second Peugeot Partner van and (first a '99 - this one an '04) and both have exactly the same problem. A strong smell of anti-freeze when you turn the heater on. Anyone else get a similar problem?

I had the same lock issues with a Renault Trafic and a Citroen Berlingo from the same time period (2005 - 2009). The vans were more or less brand new at our work at the time, took many trips to the dealer to fix under warranty. I don't know what it is about French vans and poor locking mechanisms! From what I hear (I'm retired now) some guys at my old work place are still having the same issues on newer vans to this day! And not just French vans now, recently a friend's Ford Transit kept unlocking itself overnight with expensive tools inside. Why is van "security" so poor??
