Just back from my dealer
Safety Recall YYW] after i hour wait was told yes it did need a protective sheath fitting and they did not have one in stock Apparently they dont order the parts in in case they dont use them and have to stand the cost! So the car has to return for fitting when they have got one.
In the last 20 years I have had 8 new cars, 5 of which had to go back and never once on a safety recall was I sent away to wait for the part. The explanation was that the car might have already had the work done on the PDI or fitted by Peugoet. This does not say much about Peugeots computer records of their vehicles if they have to physically inspect the vehicle to see if it needs work under a safety recall!! The garage confirmed that the car did need the part. It begs the question, what if the car now catches fire (I know it is very unlikely). Would they be negligent?
On the issue of the poor gearchange, mine often grates suggesting a lack of synchro in and out of 3rd and it is the roughest of changes when cold in and out of 1st and 2nd.
My friends at Stoneacre say their Finance Manager's does just the same...... it is a characteristic of the deisel gearbox...... so tough! Well.....the :thumbdown: car did only cost £25000 so I suppose I cannot expect a properly functioning box!
I have reported both issues to Peugeot Customer Service. The contact was a bit surprised at their agents efforts to say the least. I await contact from Peugeot.
Its my first Peugoet and first impressions are not too clever.
