1994 Peugeot 306 XR review from UK and Ireland
"A good bargain, but little things let it down a bit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm kept going off when driving.
Engine earth wire broke so car wouldn't start.
Tyres wear out really quickly. I have had them replaced twice in the 18 months I have had it.
The main problem is now where the idle speed is playing up. Car won't tick over for about first 3 minutes when started. Once engine is warmed up the rev counter bounces between 500 and 1300 RPM.
Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this? (I have tried altering accelerator cable and idle speed, but to no avail)
General comments?
The car doesn't look too bad and is fairly quick.
The seats are pretty comfortable and the interior is clean throughout.
However the build quality is a bit poor in places and is pretty flimsy.
