I am glad this has created a lot of interest. I was the one that said I believed a Diesel engine would be more efficient in a Hybrid of Series Design (eg...
I must admit I am a bit wary of the electric motor in the hub design. I agree about the efficiency but I feel that above a certain speed (40K) you have to...

Good point about unsprung weight.. real issue. I am not sure the Series setup requires Hub motors, but I do know that most of the current electric and...
Ok replying to my own post is bad. Reading the original linked article again it appears that the Peugeot design is a full hybrid. That means the car can run...
I've just arrived back from the USA and have been catching up with this topic which as you say has created a lot of interest. However, I think the discussion...

Well the 30,000 service has come and gone and the brakes are still playing up. At 10,000 they were machined, at 20,000 replaced. Now at 30,000 they were warped...
Matt, we have the same problem with our 307. Machined twice replaced once, we are now at 60,000 and it looks like they need replacing again. Very unhappy. ...

Just been reading the ACCC Warranties and Refunds (for Australia only) and it makes facinating reading. It could (and I will be arguing) that the 1. Brake...
Yea! All true facts. I never experienced that problem, but no obvious explanation to that comes to my mind exept that the problem must have something to do...

Gday Kim, yes the disc (rotor) is warped and vibrates quite badly under braking, shoking at 100km/h bad at 60km.h and can be felt to the point of the vehicle...
Hi Guys, Same problem here in Malaysia with my SW. :-( Got them machined under warranty at around 20K. Now at 40K and vibrating again at speed. Will insist on...
I wonder if it can be determined if there is some common denominatorwith the 307s that have the rotor problem. I don't believe it is going to be anything to do...

At 96000 I've had the rotors replaced twice with the same vibration problem. The latest set have only 16000 on them and the vibration is noticeable. I cannot ...
This has been a hot topic from time to time over the life of this list. On my previous 307, the rotors were machined around 30,000km and replaced at 60,000...
I believe they did by replacing the cams with known to be correctly hardened items. I really am wondering if it is a bad batch of rotors. Not forgetting that a...
