"Never, ever again will I buy a Peugeot"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Broken into with great ease. This is the manufacturers fault as there is no door lock protection.

I drove through a puddle and the car would not start again. Peugeot dealers then proceeded to charge me £130 for "essential" EMU maintenance work.

The carburettor controller started to go after about 20000 miles. I was determined to find out the cause of the problem myself as I was adamant I was not going to pay Peugeot's overpriced service prices. After much investigation I found out that it is an ongoing problem with these cars which Peugeot has forgot to tell buyers (this came from a Peugeot employee).

Seals around windows were bad.

The sunroof leaked.

General comments?

The car is nippy for a 1.1.

I did everything I could to try and love the car.

I would never buy from Peugeot again as their parts and service team and possibly some of the most unhelpful (unless you let them hook the car up to a machine first. Which costs you £85 +VAT before you even get to the problem) group of people I have ever dealt with.

The 106's have fuel injection, not carburettors as you stated!!!

I have Peugeot 106 1.1 1999, older type of engine, and it does have carburettor, but with electronic fuel injection (single point).
