Hello fellow Pug owners,
I bought a 407 coupe 2.7HDI the other day and it is a cracking car with an unbelievable engine at 86,000. I had plans of keeping the car for a good few year however I have just found it it has the infamous heater problem - where one side blows hot air. The local specialist just had a look and it needs the whole heater box changing. He said it would be a 2 day job at around £2000 parts and labour!
I really want the problem fixed as the car is a keeper and is mechanically sound . If I can pick up a salvaged heater box for £100 quid that still leaves the main cost of labour. I am wondering if there is anyone in the Lancaster, Preston, Blackpool, south Cumbria area who can offer cheaper labour or a quicker completion time to cut down on labour costs?
Also, does anyone else have experience of heater box replacement at a decent overall price (£500 mark)?
Cheers for reading and I look forward to any suggestions/replies :thumb:
