1999 Peugeot 406 Executive review from UK and Ireland

The drivers door seal is not clipped to the body.

Only one cooling fan was running (constantly) so when booked in to have them both replaced, found the radiator would fall to bits when moving it, so that needed replacing as well.

Front brake pads and discs replaced when warning light came on.

Several tracking arms replaced around the car.

STOP light would keep making an appearance due to a faulty engine temperature sensor, making the dash thermometer read over 100.

ABS very violent on the steering due to dirty sensors behind wheels.

Back windscreen wiper only works when it wants to.

Air bag light comes on if front passenger seat is too low or has something underneath it.

Have spent nearly £2000 in last 11 months, although buying it at 114000 miles was expecting a few replacements needed.

This car is very comfortable and stylish. Having heated leather seats is a god send in winter along with the climate control kicking out some serious heat quickly, the cabin soon gets toastie.

The 2.1 Turbo diesel seems perfect for the estate body. It is never sluggish in any circumstance. When you put your window down (especially in a multi storey) the purr of the engine and whistle of the turbo makes all the problems with this car bearable.

The dogs love the room in the back, and there is nothing that I have not been able to fit in the back yet.

Only ever owning Peugeots I must say, Pugs do have their fair share of problems, but doesn't any car or model.

I wouldn't change this car for the world now. It is going to stay with me until its demise.
