French reunited

I just moved to France with my wife and we are unfamiliar with the European models, and thus, reliability. The French swear by their Clios and their 306/307s, but reading online consumers are less than...

Raised expectation

I have a Peugeot 406HDI 1,957cc and am looking for a more "sit up " car new. We are both in our 70's and need easy access and headroom. I go fishing and have rods up to 6ft long so need drop down back...

Bootiful

I am thinking of changing my 3-year-old, 14,000 mile, Peugeot 407 SW for three reasons: It is very low and it is not easy for my wife and I to get in and out (being on our seventies); my wife is very short...

My Peugeot 406 HD90, now 5 years old is fitted with factory satnav. I have not used it a great deal locally but now, about to go away, I find it unreadable. The main dealer states that it has to be returned...

Exhausted exhaust

My son-in-law’s Peugeot 307SW has a light flashing saying the particulate filter wants servicing. He contacted his local Peugeot dealer who wants £400 plus to rectify this. Surely this is a monumental...

The roofers tree

Just a thought but the problem with "sticking" retractable hoods such as the one on my wife's Peugeot 206CC can be caused by opening or closing it on a slope. Dealers don't always think to ask the location...
