My car died on me last october. First signs were that it was taking a few more turns than usual to get going. Eventually it did just go. had to use a bit of brake cleaner to get it started to go to the garage and what not. After a number of tests and bizz that cost enough as it was, the problem came back as a faulty pump and injectors. Peugeot quoted me something like 1400 to fix it. Was never going to do that.
Once i knew what i needed, took it to a local mechanic(friend) who got the parts cheaper and did the labour for next to nothing. That cost me 600 on top of 300 from peugeot(no places could figure out what the exact problem was apart from them :/ ) At the time, i was debating whether to just use the 600 to buy a little run around. But i'm glad i didnt, got the car fixed and shes been running great ever since! I like the car too much to get rid haha!
