So if any of these apply to our cars we can go down to the local stealer and get it checked over for nowt?

Not sure, but I would have thought so! Always ringing them and asking I suppose!

My car came with the original recal letter from Peugeot about that first one on the list, as well as stamp to show the car had been in and got the problem sorted. I still have it in my documentation for the car.

As the car was built before the build start date of the others, its the only recal it was needed for.

I have heard some of these before.

The 'risk of fire' one did catch out a few 2003 406's when the wiring went 'multiplex'.

Also the famous air bag wiring fault where you would have a crash and the passenger air bag went off instead of the drivers etc. they were all wired up the wrong way round or something

I've only had the airbag / seatbelt pretensioner one. Looks like I've got off lightly

"Bonnet safety catch may be ineffective"

Yeah I realised that after I had the first bonnet come up into my windscreen on the A500... Wondered why I couldn't open the replacement bonnet until I discovered there was actually supposed to be a safety catch...

Strange that after nearly 4 years of owning my D8, it's still in one piece... even when I crash it!

I'd probably still be picking pieces off the road if I had a D9

(Sorry Welton but... mehehehehe
