warren t claim Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We had one of these in the garage with charging issues. In all fairness, they do drive well but this example was total DHSS spec with keep fit windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWeldedShut Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Have you christened it yet? Number plate suggests 'Rizla' - but that's maybe not too pleasant. Fleet here is currently the number plate inspired Vicky, Winnie and Lemmy (that's the ladies' cars) and I have The Barge and The Van. As you can see I am of little imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see I am of little imagination I tend not to do number plate or alliteration names, although I do sometimes go with colour. The Peugeot was called Jade. I was thinking Cherry at first, but then literally while typing this message I figured it out! She is called Scarlett ❤️ tooSavvy, 5speedracer, outlaw118 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is called Scarlett ❤️ I can go with that - best one we had was a 'Muriel' - Bini we collected up in Stockport, on the way home I looked in my rear view mirror and saw my wife laughing her head off. Thought then 'yup the car's just named itself'. It had. Only car she's owned that never got named was a Pug 206SW 1.4 HDi that was hers for three years. I called that one 'ungrateful bastard' but that's another story.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The 1.4 MPI unit in these rarely seems to give much trouble which is good, and they're a damn sight better than the 1.2 6v offering. Cambelt change is straightforward, normal servicing is also cheap and easy for a modern car Nice enough to drive in their own way, main thing that seems to go wrong on them is the electric power steering, done a few, fairly straightforward job but the part (electro-hydraulic pump) is about £250/300 for an exchange unit.. could be worse!
