woohoo 100k (306TD)

Well, it's just ticked over

Car is 306 TD Vivant.

Hopefully I'll have another 100k of trouble free motoring. I bought the
car 2nd hand with 20k on the clock (from Pug dealer) in April 2001 and
here's what I've had done:

Oil/Filter every 5k
Short Service every 10k
Major Service every 20k (none by crappy pug dealers!)
Changed gearbox oil/coolant at 99k service as well

Front pads at 40k
Middle/backbox exhaust 70k
Aircon pipe failed 70k, not bothered to fix
Front Tyres 70k (Contis)
Front Tyres 90k (replaced Conti shit with Michelin)
Back Tyres 99k (I love Michelins)
Front pads/disks 99k
Heater fascia bulb 99k (still trying to get the right part of out
peugeot - wierd fitment)
Slight steering rack leak and slight rocker gasket leak since about 60k
Sailed straight through all MOTs


Stuff I'm waiting to fail:

Heater Matrix
Electrics
Glow plugs
All interior stuff to randomly fall off - seems solid now though

I love my Pug!

 

Dont worry it will

Mines at 163k on its first clutch done heater matrix and both drive
shafts though

Long Live the diesel pug

My 306 Break 1.9D from 2001 has almost 190.000 km, still the first
clutch, only new front break discs. Everything still works fine, from the
rainsensor till the electrical rear windows ;-)
The engine keep on running and running, Yeah Long live the PSA Diesels

But next week I have to return my 306, since it a company leased car
and the contract is over and the car has too much km. I have to drive
some 2 to 3 months in a temporary leased car, until my new 406 110bhp HDI
is delivered. I hope the temporary leased car, will be a Peugeot or Citroen
and not something ugly like a Ford or Toyota. Damned I am getting depressed
when I think about it.

Good luck with your 306

 

i do to , i own three

a 305 xud9 with 365.000 on the clock
a 205 xud7 with 240.000
and a new 406 HDI

i can tel you your car wil last for about another 400.000 km as my
former 205 xud7 did...

 

and good luck with your soon to drive 406, i have one , you'l like it

perhaps a chipmod wil suit your needs thoug....

the 406 does not corner like a 306... get used to it! ( it weights
1500KG...)


the toyota avensis is not "to"bad ( it is just plain ugly)
refuse the mondeo.....ask for a bicicle if they insist on you driving
a god damn ford.

 

Thanx for your info, the 406 is a good car, full of luxury .
Good to know that a 406 (Break) doesn't corner like a 306.
I have to wait 3 months for my 406 to be delivered, yes everybody in
Europe wants to Drive a Peugeot. Instead of making overtime (work)
to reduce the deliverytime, the French still start working at 09:00 and
take a lunch from 12:00 till 14:00 and stop working at 15:00 )

Too bad a chip mod is not allowed for a leased car by the company and
besides that, it is a lot of money for a car that I have to drive less than
2 years or 160.000 km till the next car. (Perhaps a 407 ?????)

Anyway I will miss my 306, only 4 days left to drive my 306 before
I have to exchange it for a temporary car.
