I can't find the thread I was following in July 2008 but I have a semi-success story. Had the flywheel fail on my 307SW HD110 at 52,000 miles (5 years 4 months old). Bought new from dealer. Dealer said 'Wear and Tear' and charged £1,400 to replace. Exchange of letters - dealer called in solicitors instantly. Made claim in County Court at which point their attitude changed. Not sure whether Peugeot UK were involved but I got an offer from dealer and settled for a refund of £800 on the repair cost. Dealer has now closed down! It is worth sticking to your guns and pursuing your case in the courts.

Another victim. 307SW HDI 110, 52 plate, 50,400 miles. Stopped to post letter, got back in, could not engage gear. Had car recovered to my local dealer and described symptoms. 'Ah' said the smiling service guy - 'Is it a diesel?' (before he had even looked at the car). So they do know about this. Had to have it fixed (or scrap the car). Bill - £1500 for new flywheel, clutch and labour (plus another £100 for a mirror I had not asked them to fix). Interestingly 'Which' had a story this month about a problem with a fuel injected Kia (even more costly). Owner claimed from the dealer (that is the correct approach I believe) as the car was not of 'Satisfactory Quality' under te Sale of Goods act. He then threatened court action and got most of the cost (£3000) back. In his case Kia (UK) paid for the parts and the dealer paid the rest. I shall take this approach as the car was bought new from the dealer who did the repair.
