Ive heard about you before. Are you a class of a simpleton?

[quote=“TreatyStones, post: 893045, member: 1786”]@carryharry or anyone else.

What do you make of the Peugeot 407? I know French cars don’t have a great rep.[/quote]

A couple of things to look out for @TreatyStones
1, The car is fitted with a DPF filter on the exhaust system, if the car has high mileage done these can be troublesome.
2, The heaters for the interior give trouble. The problem is a piece breaks on the heater switch, the part is cheap but the whole dash has to be removed to fix the car & will cost a fortune in labour. Check the heaters!
3, Timing belts are due every 160,000km’s so again if high mileage, be aware.
4, Check for airbag lights flashing on the dash, the wiring under the driver & passenger seats tend to cause bother.

Other than that, a reasonable good car. Good on fuel & cheap to tax. Being a French made car, the suspensions don’t like Irish roads so make sure and test drive it on a back road to see if there is any issues.

I bought a ford Mondeo recently. Very happy with it so far.

337

Yes, i have one of them aswell. Great car.

This was the wifes yoke… reliable enough car but I think “washed” diesel could be the problem here.
