• FIAT - Van Radio cutting out after 20 minutes 15 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  In the FIAT - Peugeot based vans, the radio will work without the ignition key being present, but only for 20 minutes and then it switches off. I dimly remember being told that this was a programming option and that it could be altered so that the radio never switches off.

• How do I find out salvage values? 15 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Hi - my car is a write-off, and I need to know whether the salvage value that the insurance company is offering to sell me my car at is accurate or not. Any ideas? Its a 1995 Peugeot 306 XND with 176,000 on the clock. It has been serviced every 6k/6 months from new, and I want to hang on to it!!!! Do they negotiate if you think the price they're offering is too steep? Thanks!

  Xantias aren't bad are they? Provided the hydropneumatics are all working, it's basically robust Peugeot bits and pieces?

• 406 radio removal and reception problem 20 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Can anyone tell me how to remove the Clarion cd/radio from a 99 Peugeot 406? Also,has anyone had any problems with intermittent radio reception on a 406,and what was the problem? I know it's not the aerial,as it,and the base have been replaced with brand new items,so I'm looking at maybe a fault with the tuner pack.If this is the case,(Clarion want nearly £100 to replace it,plus shipping to Swindon.)are there any alternatives?

• Car Servicing - France 17 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Picked up on this up via another thread - but with labour charges as they are in the UK, how about popping over the Channel for a dealer service? My local Peugeot main dealers (I live over here) charge 31? an hour for labour (that's a little over £20). A good independent around 25?/hour. Hop on a cheap day return, leave the car at the garage, have a good French lunch and then stock up with goodies.

  Bought for £700 about 9 months ago 13000 tough miles (delivery driving) in 7 monthsthen near zero for the past 2 months Given the faults, was £600 a good price? It did have a CD player installed so lets say £550 if it had still had the original Peugeot-fit tape deck.
• Car names 1 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Now in this world of highly prized trademarks, a car's name seems to be very important and manufacturers are keen to protect them. I seem to remember Peugeot and BMW having a disagreement as some of the numbers each company use were in danger of clashing. I only know (but am sure there are more examples) of a name being used by more than one manufacturer.
