Pity the user guide isn't good enough to point these little details out and you find them by trial and error.

How do you actually select 'expert mode'?

Yes I like that one too! I had set mine to idiot mode to start with.

according to the English handbook you say "set dialogue mode as expert"

not tried it yet....

Maybe I'm stupid, but as a non French speaking person, how are you all reading that?

That's a lot of translating to do. Or is there a way to make it translate the whole page at once?

Surely it's time for dealerships to start running night schools (with exams) for us more 'mature' 'improving-with-age types cos there's just so much I'm never likely to find out about and the manuals put me to sleep with so much extraneous verbage.

Don't know what your dealerships are like, but if mine ran classes to explain the 3008, customers would be sitting there with a lot of head scratching, umms and errs, followed by total silence.

My salesman told me that everyone at the dealership had been away on a two day course, followed by a track day to test drive the cars, but admitted I probably knew more about the car than he did from exchanging information on this forum.

I can only assume that this two day course consisted of arriving at the hotel, getting totally pi**ed, and then having such a bad hangover during the day that nothing was learned. How else could a dozen salesman all come away knowing so very little??

From my experience, salesmen are just that; cars, carpets, widgets, you name it ......and they are about as loyal as the purveyors in the red light districts.
The best dealerships are the ones who are seriously professional and keep winning because of it. Surely they will work out that there is a need .

To be honest the lady at Peter Ambrose which is where i got mine from was very knowledgeable and spent an hour with me going through every button and switch in the car. She also knew about the sat nav issues and filled that form in first before doing anything else to give it time to connect, it didn`t however and took 2 days instead but i don`t think that was her fault but probably down to the crappy activation servers that Peugeot use. My first visit however was to a large franchise and they were a complete bunch of W*****s which is why i sourced an independent small dealer in the end.

Guess i was one of the lucky ones

 

[Nagaman]

In the defence of salesmen, they have an awful lot more complexity to deal with and generally a number of different models as well.
Just look at the massive list of 'features' one modern cars these days......I can remember when a radio was an option.....long before air conditioning or power steering.

 

[lee789]

You were lucky Stuart. I hear Robins and Day can be quite good, but that could be down to one of their directors now being MD at Peugeot UK.
