heating relay circuit problem

The problem with the 407 and most of the other Peugeots - and very many other cars made for the British market - is the unforgiving suspension they have nowadays. It might be fine for Western European roads, but ours just aren't like that any more. I have heard that some people have tried cars with the dampers set for Eastern Europe and found they are very much better suited to the average British road, maybe they ought to send them here.

Lack of elegance is a very good description of the current Peugeot style as applied to the 407. A stylist friend of mine said many years ago that his worst enemy was the body designer who thought he could draw. Peugeot have found quite a few of these lately.

The 406 Coupe was a beautiful looking car, but I thought the V6 one that I tried was just about the most disappointing car I have ever driven, probably because I was expecting too much. Most of the other Peugeots that I have driven have had that little bit extra to make them interesting for a driver capable of discovering it and you got the feeling that the car had enjoyed it too. Not so with the 406 Coupe. A great long-distance motorway car, yes; but try hurrying it down a twisty country road and it positively resents it, which no other Peugeot up until then in my experience ever did. And I've driven a few, starting with the 203.

I am currently in my 5th week of being without my pug 307. It's a 1.6 hdi 90bhp which after reading this post seems to be the worst engine in history? I also read a p1351 fault code on my car before giving up my own investigation and sending it to a diesel specialist. It's at the second garage now and both have been stumped. It says online that p1351 is the fuel preheater relay? so it's been replaced? alongside glowplugs? which to add to someone else's comment earlier, the glowplugs are only used at minus 5 degrees for cold start but are part of a daily regeneration cycle for the exhaust gasses and helps burn the excess deposits from the dpf. The garage say that one minute my car is sweet as a nut and the next it runs like a bag of nails. I changed the fuel filter two months ago but I didnt change the fuel preheater that is clipped to the fuel filter. Could it be this? Or is it electrical like earth straps? Considering my front electric windows and interior blower fans failed every time the fault happened, yet the electric rear windows worked fine. Could this help solve the issue of they are linked?
