We failed to sell it on eBay, so resorted to a best offer. It finally went for 700 including my personal plate worth 600. So all in all... Not a great purchase.
We still have a Peugeot in the family. My wife has a 405 estate, which she has owned for 13 years and it has been to the moon and back.
I now have a Honda. So far in 9 months, it has been perfect.

Peugeot 806 1999 - problem is the location/mounting of the preheating control unit on the driver's side in the engine bay. It is beneath where all the rainwater is drained from the bonnet rubber seal into the engine bay, so you will find it gets soaked and damp, causing wet damage and corrosion. This in turn causes failure to the injectors etc. You should find 15 wires leading into this control unit, so you have an idea of the number of functions it controls. Bad design really, and the unit should be relocated.
