"Too many electrical faults"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Electric window on front passenger side has become very slow in operation.

Digital clock has stopped working.

Rev counter stops working every now and again.

Central locking is unreliable, and sometimes unlocks itself.

Rust around the sunroof - I think water must leak in somewhere.

Stereo often cuts out then comes back on immediately, plus the volume button switches it off! Thankfully I've got volume control on the steering wheel, so I just use that.

Small oil leak coming from somewhere, however it hasn't got any worse over the past two years so I just live with it.

A couple of door trims have come loose.

General comments?

Mechanically the car has never let me down, and starts whatever the weather.

Gives a smooth ride, and it's good on diesel - 50+mpg.

A bit sluggish at lower speeds, but soon picks up once the turbo kicks in.

Servicing bills can be high.

Build quality could be better.

This is all lies, I have an L reg XTdt with 98,000 on the clock and it is one fine car with no faults at all. The trick behind this is to look after it.

Gives a good smooth ride and does 550 miles to the tank.

Superb.

All lies?!

Like I said in my review, mechanically it's been almost 100% apart from normal wear and tear. It's never missed a service in it's life!

Take a look at other peugeot reviews and i'll think your find that electrical faults are the pug's weak spot.

I have just bought my son a 306xdtd - L reg. I have noticed that the brakes are really poor with no great stopping power - is this a common fault with the 306 or should I make further investigations?

I have bled all the system and this makes no difference - please advise.

Thanks.
