Press it immediately after locking the car using the big button and you'll get a 'clunk' sound and a long flash of the lights. That's the deadlocking.
2. On the left of the dash instruments, is a guage. When I start car, it goes up, after a few sec's drops down again, what's this for?
Oil level
3. Cigarette lighter has no power, where can I locate fusebox?
Under the headlamp adjuster by the drivers knee will be a pull-down section - either a keypad or a little storage area. With this open you'll see a black plastic screw at the top (do this while kneeling on the floor outside the car). The lighter socket fuse is F1 which is the top-left one. It's 10A.
Additionally, if you have a button by the headlamp adjuster that looks like a dot with growing brackets coming from it (near the cigarette lighter socket on some models), it's the alarm disable button. Hold for a few seconds after you kill the ignition until it lights up, and it'll disable the interior ultrasonic alarm sensors, although the other alarm triggers (such as opening the doors with the key) will still be active. The button is capable of completely disabling the alarm too, but I can't remember how. It's all in the manual.
4. On wiper stalk, there is an 'auto' setting, what and how does this work?
It's there instead of an intermittent wiper setting. When the rain sensor detects rain it'll activate the wipers, either a single stroke, slow or fast dependent on how much water's hitting the rain sensor (behind the rearview mirror). The 'auto' setting deactivates itself when the ignition's turned off so it doesn't burn out the motor if you start the car with a few inches of snow on the windscreen, so you need to turn it off and on when you want to use it. Some people find it too insensitive though.
5. Where can I get an 'operating manual' from?
Either get one from a Peugeot dealer (or ebay), or sign up to
http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com (free) and you can download one in pdf format. Somewhere.
6. What is the service interval for cam-belt changes?
Pass. You'll find a service interval guide if you follow the servicebox link, or there's one in the manual.
Can't think of anything else at the moment, but to say it's an amazing car to drive and thank you for any help provided.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
, but if anyone can help, I would be most grateful.
it was only when the TomTom went flat some time later he got me involved.
