the trick with the Subaru tyres is to pump them up to 45 to 55psi so that you stop the wear on the sholders. you get a little harder ride but get longer wear....
I have a PUG 2003 307XSE. I just had an auto gear box oil sample done today; it looks like a strong cup of coffee no contaminants (metal, clutch). So am really...
Hi Eric, I am beginning to think about what accessories are attached to your car. Seeing that the modern cars tend to use a multi purpose wiring loom (ie is a...
The head lights are blowing completely, the fog lights are not blown but don't work. I seem to fix one bulb and another one blows. It's either the head lights...
Gee one thing that causes problems all the time, irrespective of what ever vehicle, is the wiring for towbars. If you can't find the fault yourself, get an...

Hi Darcy ... cutting and joining anywhere in my wiring loom. I am fitting a pressure on off switch so that when the auto lever is in reverse it will butt up...
Yes, it would be well worth getting this checked, I agree that towbar wiring is a chronic problem. Have you checked that the proper "multiplex" box is fitted?...
Hi Mark, actually I might disagree with you on that. I have exactly that fitment on my Sunbeam Imp Sport except it as a little bracket clamped on the shaft...
I think it would be feasible if the 307 used some sort of solid "rod/shaft" linkage for the gearchange but it instead uses two cables (Bowden cables? Not sure...
Hi Colin I was tidying up some email and realised that no-one responded to this. All I know is that the switches become faulty and this upsets all sorts of ...
Thanks Darcy, I hoped you might come back with a more accurate estimate. I was trying to guess when the requirement for hand signals was dropped. I seem to...
Yes Mark a lot of manufacturers lagged a long way behind. An interesting item though here in Queensland it was illegal for you to be able to turn on your...
Finally, some feedback on the AM6 transmission. Peugeot have completed their checks and tests as per instructions from further up the line. Test results were...
I have found out my 307 2003 is over charging. 14.5 volts. i have been told that it should be around 13.7V? This could be why I am constantly blowing headlight...
Hi, I've had Yokohama C-Drives on a number of cars (my 206GTI and my wife's previous Golf). Great tyres. Car dealer is offering me Pirelli P7s for $185/each...
Matthew, how new, as a design are the P7s? My philosophy is to always look at new developments in tyre technology. Maybe the P7s are an older design - than ...
P7s were OEM tyres on later 307s and owners I have spoken to were quite happy with them. Unfortunately my 307 missed out and I got the dreadful Goodyear...
Mark I have a brand new Goodyear here came off as an unused spare. Looking to pair it up either way somehow. Rob ... E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor...

I guess it depends what you mean by "good" - I've had P7s since 2006 on a 307, 27,000 km, the dealer tells me they are about halfway through their life. They...
Terry, yes, that is a good point - "good" can mean many different things to different people. A tyre might be "good" because it has very low rolling ...
I have just replaced my Nexens on the the front that had 3.5 to 4 mm left after 35000k but were not liking the wet anymore. The car arrived by request with...
I agree that the Goodyear NCT's are f'kn awful - we have them on our touring..... Before we got the touring, we had an early 307 hatch - 1.6lt petrol, auto. It...
Yes, I also had the Dunlop 300s on my first 307. But that had 15 inch wheels. That tyre is not available in 205/55R16 which I think is the size under...
... dismantle the balancing machine to do their work. I wonder what twit would have designed a fixed wheel centre. Darcy, this is a Peugeot tradition! Have a...
Yes, Mark, but I thought they had got over the silliness. Sad that they have taken a backward step. When I step up to a 308 the condition of sale will be ...
Hi can anyone advise back if the sensor for the oil is located in the oil tank or oil sump, where exactly? also i need my oil sump started to leak, do i need...
