Is this a diesel or petrol engine? If it is diesel it is probably an HDI and this could be the early signs of the lift pump in the fuel tank failing. If it is an HDI get the filter checked for minute metal filings. If they are present, you might get away with a full system clean out and a new pump. If Peugeot get their hands on it they replace everything from tank to injectors for about £3,000.
Sorry should have said its a 2 litre petrol, John
appreciated.
