Do you think I’m sixy?

Serious blow

We have a 53 plate 307 2.0HDI and recently every journey was enhanced by the ‘anti-pollution fault’ appearing - and an accompanying rev cut to 2,200rpm. This was tolerable because we found that switching...

White fan drivers

I have a 2005 Peugeot 307 HDI and occasionally the fan comes on during and after driving for no apparent reason. This would last for between 10 and 15 minutes and the noise coming from it is extremely...

Tyres they are a changin’

I got tyres for my Peugeot 406 2.0 LX Petrol (195/65R15 91V) in October 2007, and they worked out at £47.00 each (fully inclusive). I now own a Ford Focus 1.6 Style Petrol (205/55R16 91V) and notice that...
