Newspaperman said:Yes maybe I was a bit reactive but who would'nt be Ive only owned the car for less than two weeks. However Peugeot must admit that there is a design issue with that component which they have addressed. If not recall but a fix IF your BJ's are gone well that would be a possible compramise and I agree Id like a new set of tyres too didnt realise they were an odd ball size correct me if Im wrong the proper actual tyre size should be 215 x 45 x R17 W (Rated)? As part of my purchase of the car the owner said hed had a puncture on the day of sale (yeah right) Took it to my local Tyre repair guy and he said he only got that size of tyre in to order as the tyre couldnt be repaired cos the previous owner had egged the wall of the tyre so I had to lash out the dosh again for a new one. The car is right now apart from my amber display in which the lcd screen bleeds as it gets warm doh!
yes, you're wrong. Standard tye size on the 17s is 215 55/17, but some people are tight and fit 50s or 45s to save money. This only serves to mess up the gearing, ruin the ride and help give the suspension components a further hammering. If people can't afford to run a larger car properly, they should go buy something else.Newspaperman said:Yes maybe I was a bit reactive but who would'nt be Ive only owned the car for less than two weeks.

Thats interesting My Wifes 407 is making a banging noise when turning. They said there was play in the ball joints when her car had an MOT.All 407's should be recalled because of the serious Balljoint issue never mind anything else
My 407 is on 248 000km's and is a 2006 model and my original balljoints are still perfect.All 407's should be recalled because of the serious Balljoint issue never mind anything else
