2001 Peugeot 307 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Nice family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition Barrel Recall.
Knocking noise (initially thought to be rear seat belt anchor point - adjusted by dealer)
Later found to be anti roll bars at front catching on engine sub-frame. No Peugeot recall - dealer has to periodically adjust back into position. Known fault by Peugeot.
Cracking noise coming from suspension. Again known fault, dealer adjustment.
Gearbox end-plate leaking.
Clarion Single Slot CD/Radio Looses stations.
Roof Aerial ceased on. Could not remove for car wash.
General comments?
Cabin is very comfortable.
Does not handle as well as previous Two 306's.
Excellent storage spaces.
The 1.6 Petrol engine (115BHP) does not perform as well as other in its class.
Car seems too heavy.
Peugeot have let owners down with these early problems.
