Rear shock absorbers needed replacing.
Glow plugs needed replacing.
Drivers seat has worn badly.
I bought this car as a cheap run-around to get to work as my 309 GTI was becoming increasingly set up for rallying so less practical as an everyday car. I settled on the 306 TD from a combination of low insurance, economy and still reasonably fun to drive. It worked well on all counts and is only being replaced as a friend is selling his 405 Mi-16.
It's rare to get less than 45mpg over a tank of fuel, and the car goes round corners like all proper Peugeots :)
Acceleration off the line is a bit sluggish as it takes a while for the turbo to get wound up, but once you're on boost you can push on quite well. (It's very handy on the motorway as peak turbo boost is at 3000rpm which is about 80mph).
When I got the car it was sounding very rough when it started, (running on 3, or even 2), and a large cloud of smoke would appear as you started it. This was solved by changing the glow plugs and it now starts fine first time every time.
Yeah a done the glow plugs on my brothers car the other day and he says it feels more responsive and it starts first time with ease even in scottish weather conditions.
