Hi HJ,
I'm in dire need of help. I drive a 2006 Peugeot 407 V6 petrol and it gave me a depollution system fault a couple of months ago, followed by a heavy misfire. I visited my dealer and since it was due for service it was given a major service and replacement of 4 ignition coils. The fault did not go away and actually became worse. 2 days ago the engine just cut off and the vehicle cannot be started. Again I towed it to the dealer and it was plugged onto the computer and it gave the following faults:... Read more

I recently bought a used Mazda 6 2006 diesel car. After a couple of days, I noticed it was producing lots of white smoke especially after the engine is warm. This usually occurs when I stop at traffic lights etc. I noticed that the smoke stops for about 5 days when I drive it on the motorway for about 10 miles. Then it will start smoking again.

You would be better taking it to a diesel specialist rather than the dealer, they usually know what they are doing.

Any help or support would be very much appreciated!
Thank you,

It isn't obvious from the Facebook link what the original problem was. If you want help or advice I suggest you summarise the issue succinctly in a post, rather than expecting us to find it for ourselves.
Happy to be financially comfortable, although not wealthy enough for cost not to matter. Money can disappear quite quickly !

Every car has its critics and supporters. From their differing experiences both views may be right.
The great majority of buyers whose cars don't provide serious problems become 'supporters'. The unlucky 'critics' in the opposite camp often complain about intransigent dealers or penny-pinching manufacturers, and sometimes vent their spleens on entire nations of makers (e.g. French or German). :-)...
Hi all, I have a dead mirror switch so have obtained a good one from a late model ST.
The question is, how do I remove the lower "arm rest" panel to get access to the three screws that hold it in place ? Does it just clip in and hence, requires removing with either a flat bladed screwdriver of plactic scraper etc ?... Read more
Had a look this afternoon and the lower arm rest "half" does indeed simply clip off (and back on again very cleanly).
I used a plastic broad scraper and it popped right off....
the ignition lights come on but, apart from 1 click, the engine doesnt start. up to now it started perfectly 1st time. at first when it was doing this it did connect after turning it on and off a few times (suggesting a loose connection?) but now it isnt connecting at all. the headlights are working fine...the battery is not flat. can anyone put forward any suggestions please?

most likely soleniod, normally part of starter motor but can be brought seperately. Well was the case a few years ago

Just like the new Jaguar XE it will steal sales from the BMW 3 series. The 3 series looks so dull and boring in comparison with either the XE or Guilia. Read more

After a central locking fault that has ended with the latch becoming seized on the passenger door, I have removed the door card and can access the plastic cover to the latch, I have managed to remove the cover to reveal a plastic white box with a lid, can also manipulate the levers on the latch with my hand but they do not do anything. What is the easiest way to remove the door, should I just unbolt the door hinges or drop the pins since the latch seems like a lost cause without destroying it completley? Read more
Removing the door is not going to acheive very much.You will need to smash open the plastic casing of the locking actutor and operate the door release lever with a screwdriver.

Sounds like you have a broken wire, faulty relay, blown fuse or poor connection somewhere resulting in a loss of feed to several components. What amazes me more is the dealer (and I assume they are a Peugeot dealer) seems to be playing parts darts by what you say. I'd complain to the dealer by saying you're paying good money for 'experts' to diagnose your problem, but that expert is far from what they appear to be.
