  1. Sounds right dodgy to me what you have said there mate.Contact trading standards in the area where you live.
  2. true enough but if no quick fix comes soon and it isn't sorted i will take the hit on it as i intend to trade the car in soon anyway,but yes i would prefer to trade it in fixed of course.
  3. ok i will try and find out re the boxes.I didnt take out any additional cover.my head is spinning at the minute with people telling me one thing then somebody else telling me something completely different but i do appreciate your input.the financial ombudsman should know.
  4. from trading standardshttp://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/kent/factsheets/FS7NEW%20nov07%20responsible.pdf
  5. I bought the car new, 4 1/2 years ago with a 3 year warranty.i took my car to different mechanics for service etc.I don't know where the service book is.
  6. when i phoned peugeot finance they told me it was hire purchase so i'm confused.All it says at the top of my copy which they sent me is "conditional sale regulated by the consumer credit act 1974".
  7. conditional sale under the consumer credit act 1974.
  8. I would say most are unfit for purpose.i recently spoke with a fella who works for peugeot as a salesman and he told me that the engines were fine but that the diagnostics tool was rubbish as was the electronics in the car.I will never have another peugeot,thats for sure.
  9. I have spoken with a legal adviser who states quite clearly that under the sale of goods act 1979 that the vehicle is of satisfactory quality and under my terms and agreement the onus is on the finance company to repair my fault as it is an inherent fault ie not done by wear and tear of the vehicle.the finacial ombudsman has also been informed.
  10. Don't get me wrong ,the best car i ever had was the peugeot 406 which i bought off the same garage.give me no problems at all.it's all these new electronic things and the ways of testing them and their failure to diagnose correctly what the fault is. I was also under the impression that a dealership had to find out the fault not for me to pay for them to do it.then after finding the fault they could give me an estimated bill for repair.it's the underhand way in which they do things now that infuriates me and the extortionate prices.
  11. Peugeot finance is what i was told when i first bought the car,then when i phoned them the other day they told me it was a hire purchase agreement. I have made a complaint to peugeot ref the circumstances and they are due to get back to me next monday with reference to who pays for the repair etc. I have the agreement that i signed in front of me,no mention of hire purchase or peugeot finance just stating conditional sale agreement regulated by consumer credit act etc etc.They seem to me to be hidden in the way they do things and the documents they supply you with. I am sick to the back teeth with these people and will never have anything to do with them again.
  12. Thanks for your reply,From reading my hire purchase agreement the car belongs to peugeot until such times as it is paid off which is in july but i will take your word for it. I am currently not working at present so cannot afford to pay those twits £ 400 and I intend to trade the car in anyway as it's a pile of scrap and I personally wouldn't go near peugeot again. No I haven't had tyres changed.The only thing I got done was ball joints replaced last year which I am led to beleive should have been done by pug by recalling the peugeot 407 but due to their greed this wasn't done. I will never buy Peugeot again or french car for that matter.
  13. they never showed me the fault codes.all done behind closed doors.i wasn't asked if i wanted to see the diag test being done. From what i gathered from trading standards the car was peugeots responsibility until i had made my final payment which is in july coming.
  14. hi everyone newbie here. right heres the situation. Last week an error code came up on my car which is a peugeot 407(4 years old).It was an esp/asr error. On Monday past i took it to the dealership in town where they perfomed a diagnostic test on my vehicle.This test cost £50 but I managed to get it for £40.Anyway the result of this test was inconclusive as they informed me it was angle sensors to the front or to the rear of my vehicle but could not pinpoint exactly where the fault came from. The guy in the garage told me if I wanted to get a proper diagnosis I would have to spend approx £400 for peugeot to get a specialist mechanic to find out the exact cause of the fault. I thought this was strange so I checked up on my payments to peugeot and found out that I was on hire purchase agreement.I spoke with trading standards and they thought that peugeot had to fix my car.Is this true?
