"Good performance for low insurance (trust me I'm 21-22)"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Usual oil leaks, spark plug changes etc that old cars have.

Had a big problem starting, it had no power and would stall instantly.. This was fixed simply by checking and tightening the carb.

Brakes sometimes seem soggy and unresponsive (even though brakes themselves are in good condition) - but who needs brakes???..

General comments?

A good car, that handles well for its size. The engine is quite powerful, for such low insurance.. You can beat a lot of cars off the lights.. (Best to fit Bosch Super 4 Sparks as it makes a big difference).

Fuel economy could be a lot better as it drinks fuel at 75-80mph (under 30mpg) but can be nearly 45mpg on long runs (60-70mph)..

Peugeot Express Fit dealers are brilliant, you take the car in for an oil change and they sort out other little problems for you free of charge (you may not know you had them).. Very good indeed..
