Radiator failed.
Front wheel bearings are rumbly.
Front inner wishbone bushes wore out.
New battery and alternator.
Driver's seat starting to wear.
Not a perfect car, but very good in my opinion. People don't buy Peugeot's for outstanding build quality.
Great fun to drive (for a diesel).
Excellent handling and ride quality.
My car has a hard life (high miles on rough roads), but has proved very durable.
A good car for keeping it's age. Still looks great when polished at 7 years old.
Nice interior (if lacking in some knobs and whistles) with supportive, firm seats.
I recently drove a brand new HDi estate, but didn't find it that much better than my 1.9 D Turbo.
I have a 1.9 D Turbo. People slate it for being a DIESEL, but I am very surprised how quick they are. Currently looking to add a few improvements under the bonnet. Should be quite a nippy little car for a diesel.
Update of main review above:
My D Turbo has now covered 95000 miles and is still as new. I have no intention of selling it, despite pressure from potential buyers to do so! Peugeot's are supposedly bad for becoming tatty, but a lot of that is down to owner neglect. I recently looked at a D Turbo on a forecourt that was 4 years newer and in far worse condition.
Another update:
Have now covered 118,000 miles. As much power as ever before and just as economical. Have driven loads of other 306 DTs and mine is more gutsy than any of them! I occasionally consider replacing it, but then clean and drive it, and there seems little point! Some noticable bits of wear to the interior showing (seat, steering wheel etc).
Such a cheap car to run. Have only needed to service it over the last 18 months. Long may it continue...!
