1995 Peugeot 306 XNd review from UK and Ireland
"Virtually free motoring for the dull"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stereo has had an intermittent power connection. Stops working then requires the security code.
Stereo controls sometimes malfunction and require unit to be switched off and on again to rectify.
Brake discs required replacing at 50,000 miles.
Heated rear window failed, but has been successfully "bodged".
Glow plugs failed at 80,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has been almost faultless. With the exception of the above, nothing has gone wrong.
It's still on it's first clutch, exhaust (entire system) and rear brake shoes. Everything still feels tight and new.
Suspension is very good, giving a nice soft ride without being too sloppy on bends.
Performance is about as good as non-turbo diesels get i.e. very poor, but it is torquey and smooth and goes well round town and on the motorway. However, overtaking on normal roads is for the brave only.
