1996 Peugeot 306 XRDT review from UK and Ireland
"A very reliable car, but be prepared to shell out on irritating faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both electric window motors have needed replacing.
New starter motor at 48000 miles.
New windscreen wiper motor at 50000 miles.
Doors lock and unlock themselves while driving along.
General comments?
Overall, the car has been very reliable.
The engine performance is impressive - even at 133000 miles it does not require oil top ups between servicing.
Having said this, the electrical problems have let the car down badly.
