1994 Peugeot 306 XND review from UK and Ireland
"A sporty looking three door diesel!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thin key has a weak point which snapped easily in the drivers door lock which required replacing.
Rear Brakes failed from leaking wheel cylinders which leaked onto the brakes shoes.
Off-side Ball Joint failed M.O.T on excessive play.
Near-side Wishbone failed M.O.T on excessive play.
Stiff accelerator pedal (required new cable)
Exhaust Center Box and Down pipe rusted out and required replacing.
General comments?
The Peugeot 306 looks fantastic from the outside and also looks incredibly sporty in the three door version. It's modern looks also make it age slowly and an early example looks much newer than it actually is.
The 306's handling is faultless on any bend.
The 1.9 diesel engine can be fairly sluggish on acceleration, but once it's up to speed copes very well particularly on motorways. A very torquey engine which requires less gear changes at low speeds than any previous petrol car I have owned.
