Faults:

A knocking noise started coming from the front of the car, and it required a bottom suspension arm, due to excessive play in the ball joint. While I had the car jacked up, I just replaced both lower arms at the same time.

Also, sometimes when it's at idle, the revs vary between 1000 and 3000rpm. Apparently this is a common problem with Saxos and 106s with the single point injection engine. This began to happen around the 110000 mileage mark.

General Comments:

The car is very quick, and the engine responds well from a hard drive, and is not the slowest 1.1 engine ever made.

Engine seems to be bullet proof, as mine is through the 200000 mile mark, and so far no problems with the gearbox etc.

Everything I have replaced on the car has been wear and tear, such as brake pads, discs, rear brake shoes etc.

Interior has worn well, considering the car has not had an easy life. The seats are very comfy, although there seems to be a problem with the rails, because now and again, they seem to slide back while driving.

Faults:

- Burn a lot of oil. About 1 liter / 2500 km.

- Various faults on engine electrics.

- Light bulbs blew very often.

- Complete exhaust changed two times.

- Paint fell off from some parts of the body (not caused by damage).

General Comments:

- Car is very good for city use, parking is not a problem. Long journeys very uncomfortable (it is not meant to be).

- Foot pedals close to each other.

- Not enough space for legs (my right leg is always touching the central console).

- Served me very well over two years of ownership, and never let me down on the road.

- Parts are available and inexpensive, and there is a wide network of Peugeot service centres.

Faults:

I have bought my Quiksilver off my sister who owned it from new, she never had problems. I bought it and have spent £800 on it, and it's still not fixed. (someone help) None of my mechanics know.

When I start it, I hear the fuel pump making a noise, and if the noise stops dead, it starts, but most times it whimpers out, and starts and dies out straight away. Also. when I'm driving it stops (it's not the fuel pump, I just replaced that). It idles badly, the rev drops away, but it recovers and rises. Please help.

General Comments:

Very fast, and I'm 19 and I have it insured for £1000.

Faults:

The car was quite rusty underneath when I purchased it, so I had to replace the whole exhaust at 70,000 miles.

The back brakes leaked and I had to replace them at 75,000 miles.

I had a major problem with the leaky sunroof. I had to re-seal it, but the damage had been done! Seals inside were eroded and screws were rusty. Every now and then I get a leak in the roof which is an ongoing problem until I get it fixed properly.

Drive shafts are on their way out (but I guess that is to be expected due to the age and mileage of car)

General Comments:

Despite this, the car is reliable and handles nicely.

I do a lot of miles in this car and it's a real work horse!

The driving position is a little uncomfortable, but its only a small car anyway.

The car is getting older now so I expect things to go wrong with it.

It is very much - what you see is what you get! But I'm happy with it.
