    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with a little problem that I have
    with me pug. I've recently bought a R'reg (98) 306 XSI 3dr hatch and my
    drivers footwell keeps getting totally soaked. I at first thought it was
    those sale signs they so love to trap in the doors and these have knackered
    me door seal but I cannot see any sign of the door not sealing properly.
    Also if it was getting in from the door seal from when it rains the carpet
    along the inside of the sill would be wet, but in this case it isn't.

    I have had problems with my rear washer and I have a nasty idea that maybe
    it might be pumping this water into my footwell when ever I use this,
    however this is just a guess as I don't know what side of the car the rear
    washer line runs, knowing this would atleast be a start.

    I'd appreciate anyone's ideas or help on this, many thanks
    Si.

    I had this on my 405GLD. It was the heater matrix leaking. The matrix
    costs about £80 but I gather it costs an arm and a leg if you take it to a
    garage. You have to remove the whole dashboard/fachia.

    The joys of owning a Peugeot!

  6. How hard can it be to buy a Haynes and do it yourself? A days labour in
    a Pug dealer to fit a 40 quid part is going to be a lot of money. My
    local garage charges 30 quid an hour so I'd expect to nearly double that
    for a Pug dealer.
