1996 Peugeot 306 DTS review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent performance for the running cost, but poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Injector pipes 4 times.
Both bottom ball joints worn to excess by previous owner. Resulted in hubs being worn and needed replacing.
Engine generally in poor condition, but that's due to previous owner (s). Oil came out like creosote when did and oil change.
General comments?
Good car, but poor reliability (not all down to Peugeot).
Not had any electrical faults (yet - touch wood)
The car handles very well, the back end has been lowered and the car has Toyo T1-S Proxes tyres on... very good!
Seats are OK, but could be better, more padding and lumbar support needed.
