Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
First water pump only lasted 30k miles which resulted in early cambelt change at Peugeot main dealer labour rates to preserve warranty! Infrequent but recurring engine management warning light and misfire mainly after driving in wet conditions or on very cold mornings, never lasted long and never needed remedial work. Always prone to stalling for first five minutes or so from start-up, whatever the weather. Got through exhausts every 15k miles max even with constant m-way use.
