My blowers work alright, but I've possibly not seen them at their best.
And as the headgasket has gone, I assume that its gone for a reason, That being something like a warped or cracked block. It will be cheaper to replace the head or engine than to repair the head.

Used to fill up when I parked it downward facing, particularly if it was downward to the nearside.
You've got a tiny glovebox because the car has aircon. Not a lot you can do apart from ripping all the aircon out and fitting a glovebox from a non-air con car. (Wouldn't bother as they aren't great either!)
If the headgasket needs doing, you'll likely only need to change the gasket itself. You'll need to have the head skimmed at a machinists. It's just time consuming if you haven't done it before and it's imperative you time the engine correctly afterwards. Have a search for 'Peugeot TU head gasket guide' i'm sure something will turn up as your engine is the same as those fitted to 106,205,206,207,307,Xsara,Saxo,AX,C2,C3 etc etc etc.
It's not fun when brake cylinders pop - so i'd get that sorted.
Get pics up! I'm guessing its Diablo red...
I hope it is the door seal, But I have the sloshing sound when i start the engine, Which isn't encouraging.
The reason for the head or engine replacement is because its alot cheaper than getting the head skimmed. Im willing to spend money on the car, But when I can save, i will.
