"Biggest pile of unwashed pants"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator, alternator, alternator and the alternator. Wheel balance permanently out.

General comments?

Not strictly mine - it's my friends but I drive it from time to time. I have to say this is the biggest bag of spanners to come from France! Performance is poor at the best of times - 0-60 in about 14 secs - I drive a 205 diesel and average it in 11 secs!

Which cliff have you pushed your 205 off specifying that acceleration data?

BTW I achieved to improve my 11TREs acceleration from 13.7 to 11.3 only with driving it properly.

My first car was a 1.1 RE and it had a 0-60 of 10.2 seconds as standard, so either you can't drive or your car's shagged!

11 seconds- I very much doubt it! I've had a 205 diesel and mine did it in about 16s, down a hill!

Hey concerning the first comment about the "AX TRE", there is no problem with the alternator, Iv'e beaten auto electricians to it!!! its just the wiring loom from the alternator to the starter then to the battery, problem can be resolved by cutting an old jump lead to size, putting on the right connectors then literally go from the back of the alternator were the original wire comes from to the positive side of the battery, sorted, and this and my advice has saved loads of pounds too many people anything else just ask!!!
