2003 Peugeot 307 D-Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"If you want a nice car, don't buy a french one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On cold start up, the engine squeaks, took it back to Peugeot and they had a look and found the flywheel was the problem. Left it with them for 2/3 days and replaced clutch and dual flywheel (£700), and the problem has occurred again after one month of having a new flywheel (700 miles ago).
Having problems with getting it into gears at times, the worst being reverse.
Oil filler cap came off completely and had to ask Peugeot for a free replacement.
Just yesterday I had noticed that I have a loud clunking noise when I'm going round a corner and letting the clutch out from changing into 2nd and 3rd gear, so going up to see Peugeot tomorrow, but have noticed that it's not the suspension, clutch, gearbox, flywheel, engine components or wheels, so it might be a wheel bearing, cv joint, bushes or anti roll bar (s).
General comments?
The car is a nice quiet drive when it's not in need of repair.
The car is very comfortable wherever you drive, even if it's a short or long distance.
Lots of head and leg room in the back.
The boot is too small.
Window screen wiper on the driver's side is too small, but bigger on the passengers side, but I know why this is, it's so the wiper wipes the rain and light sensors on the screen.
Nice big spacious room in the front.
Bad design fault with no rubber seals all the way round the back doors and dirty water splashing on the bodywork.
Rear tailgate's gap between the glass and the metal work has been poorly designed because dirt gets between it, and I have found the only thing that gets in that gap is soapy water and a toothbrush.
