I Have it's Stablemate, a 2007 2.0 lt Citroen Dispatch Combi...same car different badge, Car runs well but has had in its 167,000 miles, 2 Timing Belt kits, 3 clutches, 1 Cluch slave Cylinder, 1 Clutch Master Cylinder, 5 sets or Anti roll bar bushes, 2 sets of Droplinks, 2 Wishbones, 1 camshaft, 1 High pressure Fuel pump, 2 complete sets of Brake calipers, 2 sets of Brake discs and 2 sets of Handbrake cables. It has never actually broken down and left me stranded, the Engines Torquey, The rattles I've learned to live with, Customers like it as it's comfortable, I't drives like a car and has a comfortable driving position. Would I have another one..well YES if I couldnt afford A VW or a Mercedes or a New Tourneo. It really is a workhorse for the School contracts and for that it's been great...and at 37MPG Ive no complaints. But of the Peugeot/ Citroen/Fiat vehicles you only get what pay for. |

If you buying a new one most the problems of the 2007 to 2012 have been sorted. I have had a few problems. They don't fit the dmf clutch anymore they now have a solid fly wheel. A few of us did start to get clutch slip at 40.000 new clutch £450 fitted. Had a fuel pressure switch. Anti roll still ok after 125.000 2012 model.Tyres last well brakes last ok but mine is a one driver car no part time driver ragging it around at the weekend. The anti roll bar had to be replace every 30.000 on the 2008 model |

Not sure if it will because the 2012 model has a new engine. And if I know peugeot they would have made sure you can't as this would make you keep your older one longer. And they wouldn't want that would they. |

Youd ONLY fit just a clutch if you already had a SMF Even manufacturers are dropping the DMF in favour of torque limiting software, although there is a BETTER design of DMF made by Sachs (LUK are the main manufacturer of DMF's) Looking at a DMF which came off my Tourneo I was tempted to suggest welding all the way round the outer edge to create a SMF... |

Hope it does you well. My mate has clocked 380.000miles in this 09 plate engine still sounds very sweet. And his drivers rag the sh-t out of it so its doing really well. His going to be keeping it till it go's bang |

The main reason I wouldn't have another E7 is the amount of attempts passengers have to have at closing the doors properly. my record was 7 attempts. |

yes i must agree with that. People just can't shut the dam doors. sometimes after the 10th time i start to think i could live with a TX that only do's 23mpg. No point in having a screen and all singing and dancing locking that keeps you safe when you have to keep getting out to shut the doors for people. Its just to stiff to pull over the catch that keep the doors fully open |

Not a good start. The vehicle was delivered this morning, driven down from Scotland, when the chap had handed over the keys and gone on his way we found that the EML was on. A check at our local garage suggests an EGR sensor. not bad for a vehicle with 320 miles on the clock. |

Mine was the same when it was delivered. Before he went all he done was disconnect the battery for 10 mins and it all reset itself. Been fine ever since |
