& I thought mine was bad. Mind you, I'm not 2 years into mine yet & both MOTs have cost over £200.

To be fair half of that is ordinary service items that every car needs sooner or later. Otherwise, good going for an 11 year old car, and the good thing about an old Peugeot is that parts cost peanuts and they are easy to work on.

My neighbours 56 plate passat has just been towed home for the third time with it's third injector failure. Each time he's had to fork out £500 for a single injector. I told him his fancy German barge was too complicated and he should buy an old French heap instead. He didn't seem to see the funny side

same aux drive belt etc throughout? I'd get that swapped pronto in case it lets go, gets caught in the cambelt and 'Game Over'.

Oh & haven't we missed a boost pipe in there somewhere?

Howled laughing at that

Yes quite right boost pipe 2 drop links and spring , self inflicted

and the exhaust smoke reading was 0.77% not bad for a re-mapped car

aux belt changed with timing belt

How is yours with a remap Puggy? May be up your way in a few days to take a gander at a replacement for mine. Just not sure if I can justify such a long trip as I generally buy within a 40 mile radius.

[puggy]

It's been great , had it done few months after getting the car and it's not
caused any probs. Better on fuel consumption , faster but the difference
in torque is the best thing .
