No body got any thing to say or ask?


Very good hahahahaha it might be that my starter motor has packed up.i get good M.P.G. trying to get one from vechicle electrics in southampton

you are right though Chris, it has gone very quiet in here, must be a good week for Peugeots not falling to bits. Or diesel is now so high everyone has parked them up and walked away My 406 and the partner van have been pretty good lately(touch wood) although I did crack the rear light lens on the way when getting stuff out of it the other day. £20 for a new one so not the end of the world.

Hi,

OK, there's a couple of things : - what the f#ck is the reartrain of my 206, if you depress the throttle pedal in curves when it's wet, you may well have the rear coming out (I already spinned on 180°, happily without hitting any of both rails... Was too violent and too fast for me to countersteer). I live with it, but even for an old Pug customer like me, the rear axle seems a bit too alive ;-) - I'm pleased with it anyway, even if sometimes I miss my old 205. BTW, it uses a bit less fuel on the same roads / speed / jams conditions, with a fuel record of 4.478l/100 over a full tank (should be around about 45.1MPG if I'm right on the conversion), while the best overall was at 4.78l/100km (42MPG). I'm far far away from your MPG I'm afraid :-)

That's all I have to say :-)

Happy motoring,

At least we know what you get up to,spinning round 180 can think of much more things i would like to do when wet.

Hi,

Eeer, it was raining, I was coming at a large corner, on a lane going out of a 2x2 carriageway, I did some kind of "ooops f#ck f#ck f#ck". I didn't want to do this. On waiting for the car to stop, I locked the brakes (the only one thing to do, anyway), the engine stalled of course, but that's the kind of things you don't care :-) The right point is, there was no one around, I was alone, no car front, no car back. So if you ever drive a 206, be careful about this feature, this wasn't a legend ;-)

Hi,

I have no clue. I'd say 40-45MPH. I remember I thought "I'm perhaps a bit too fast" and prepared for a left-foot braking. Next time I'll try to brake before entering the curve, I have to remember I have the ABS.

Regards,
