General Comments

I have had my 106 1.1 for 6 months brought it from new. Have had nothing but problems with it. Biggest being idling problems with the revs going up and down between 1000 - 3000 revs, and the boot leaking. Just wondered if any one else had these problems?

    My Girlfriends 106 Independance is doing the same thing, She bought the car in September 2003 and is about to go in to the main dealer for the 6th time with this fault.
    It has got to a stage where we are going to trading standards to try to get a refund. I am sorry to say that if you got your car from a dealer and not private this is your best bet, as Peugeot seam to be either incapable of doing the repair or not bothered. Last weekend when we got the car back we went to see another branch of the same dealership Warrick Wright and all they seemed interested in doing was giving her bottom trade in price for her car and selling her a new one.

    My advice to anyone thinking about buying a Peugeot would be save your money and buy either a bus pass (as thats where you will spend 99% of your time) or an old banger anything but a Peugeot.

    After my previous post Warick Wright have offered my Girlfriend a lot less than she paid for the car to buy it back off her. This offer includes what they laughinly call compensation, this means she has lost something in the region of £1500 in 7 months, Plus all the stress.
    She now wants to accept the offer because she is so stressed out by the whole thing.
    All I can say now is boycott Warick Wright completly, Forget Buying a Peugout because they have no customer support. And if you have a problem with your car and its out of waranty (hers isn't) take it to an indepentant Garage because Peugeot do not have any mechanics they just have parts fitters, so if it doesn't show up on there diagnostic computer they are stuffed because they have the mechanical abilitys of a first year mechanics student if not less.

    I have had many Peugeots over 20 years and have always had the best of service, in contrast to Ford and Vauxhaul.
    The company has provided first class warranty backup which is very customer oriented and the standard of work always top order and delivered by good mechanics, this being from 5 different dealerships all over the UK
    I do not work for Peugeot and report as I find.

    i have had my peugoet 106 since 2003 as well, its a great first time car and i have had no problems with it what so ever, although i do know what you say about it reving up. sometimes i will be sitting in traffic and it will start reving on its own without me touching the pedals, i have had this looked at and have been told this is fine and i will not harm the car in anyway. aside from that i am very pleased to have purchased this car and would very much recommend to a first time driver. its cheap on petrol, quick for a 1.1 and also a great looking car for its money.
