1996 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland

Illumination on dash panel has blown due to shorting fault in the fog lamps (on same circuit). This has then had the wonderful effect of blowing the temp sensor which now reads 78 degrees C even when it is icy!

Battery keeps going dead although plenty of charge from the alternator and has had a new battery. Still trying to sort this - hopefully will be the fog lamps of which I have now removed the bulbs to see.

Slight rattle in passenger door (front)

Annoying wind noise from front left wheel arch (inside).

Slight knock from the front nearside suspension strut. Needs bush replacing.

The car sticks to the road well.

Has plenty of torque, but you need to thrash it to get good performance.

4,500 rev power band means revving the nuts off it to gain any serious performance however when there the car does go well with enough power to embarrass most hot hatches, sales reps etc.

Nice interior, very comfortable with bucket seats although slight rattle is annoying.

Clutch is heavy making it hard work in traffic. Good fun through the lanes though.

Turns heads well - even better with a few subtle styling touches - Quad headlamps anyone?
