"Great car mechanically"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Mechanically this car has been great. The only problem I have had on the last two MOTs is the exhaust for some reason blows from the manifold, and it has needed to go in the garage to have this fixed, due not being able to get at it myself.

I have replaced the back and middle box with no problems.

The only problems have been with the electrics, which are the speedo either failing to work or sticking just above 40.

The fuel gauge not working (poor earths).

They only thing I do recommend is don't use Peugeot dealers for servicing, as I found out with a 106. I had more problems after they had worked on it than before, and this was on every occasion, not just a one off. So this car has always been maintained since I have had it by myself or the local garage.

General comments?

This car is just so comfortable. My next car is going to be a Peugeot 406/407 diesel.

Hi.

If you had any work done on the exhaust, there's an earth strap on the middle pipe. It's one of the daftest designs I've seen.

Take it back and get the fitter to clean it up. That will solve your fuel gauge.

Hope this helps.
