peugeot 807

More to the point, is anyone out there NOT having problems with the

807???

Electric sliding doors, windscreen leaks, door locks, PAF, and what a pain to work on the engine.

I have the Citroen C8 (same car) and it has the same electric door problem, especially the offside door dead locks don't work, rear wash wipe has stopped working (the water jet not the wiper) and never mind the engine, have you tried the simple (NOT) task of changing a headlight bulb ?

IMO the old 806/Citroen Synergie was better built, had a tougher interior and was way more reliable

just fixed to rear wash wipe, for future reference the pipe inside the offside rear pillar has a push fitting that can come apart... as mine had /c;

The 806 rides like a proper Peugeot. The 807 could have been built by anyone - the suspension and damper settings were probably signed off for production by someone from Fiat :-(

There is now a modified set of contacts for the sliding door so that the thing works properly after a couple of wipes with a damp dog which is a considerable improvement.

A good dealer can modify the rear wiper so that it doesn't miss out the centre of the rear window.

There is an interesting thing going on with the tyres though: I called in at my dealers to complain that the 15" Pirellis were wearing out a bit quick and apparently there is a problem concerning alignment at the rear on some cars and mine is booked in for checking next week. For some strange reason

16" wheels and Michelin tyres are involved in the cure - under warranty of course.

we've had a problem with front tyres wearing on the outside, the tracking was towing in by 2 degrees so the garage set it to tow out slightly (according to the mechanic FWD cars should tow out slightly). I'll be keeping an eye on them to see if they still wear unevenly (on the inside) the rear tyres are wearing evenly but I think on the quick side we were running 15" Michelins all round, have just replaced the front with a cheaper make (and will on the back) to see if there's any difference.
