1997 Peugeot 106 XLD review from UK and Ireland
"Economical tortoise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dubious smell after long runs - possibly brakes?
New pads, discs, oil and fuel filters.
Required new head lamp bulbs (within a week of each other?)
Dealer lost the immobiliser code on day of collection and forgot to put an oil drain plug back in properly, oil slick outside my house (Castles, Leicester).
General comments?
Pedals extremely close together.
Watch out for smells after long runs (we had a loaner, same model, for the day and thought it was on fire at one point!)
Colour coded bumpers prone to crack at the slightest touch.
