2000 Peugeot 406 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Good, only let down by quality of finish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump fuse blew in heavy traffic - AA fitted higher-rated fuse and subsequently there was some debate as to whether or not this model should have been the subject of a recall.
Driver's window got stuck in the down position in heavy rain - call-out could not fix it, dealer fitted new motor etc under 3-yr warranty.
Problems with fuel injectors soon after delivery - all 4 replaced under warranty.
New instrument binnacle after false readings from fuel gauge.
Constant problems with front brake discs warping. Replaced or skimmed many times under warranty.
General comments?
Very spacious, huge carrying capacity.
Comfortable, especially on long journeys.
Well-appointed for LX model.
Outstanding economy, but performance with the 90bhp mediocre.
Great for towing, very stable with reasonable pulling power.
