The heater for the passengers in the back of the car is next to useless, and is very much the same on other models that I have driven. Basically lots of noise but very little heat.

Is there any way that I can boost the heat in the back for the passengers?

I agree they are pi** poor.

Maybe a few blankets might help. :?

The new E7 rear heaters get very hot, sadly no many passengers get the benefit as its always in the garage getting something fixed.

Mine is 18 month old, so far, under warranty I have had

Total cooling system replaced
Flywheel
Front taxi light replaced
both Electric steps replaced

Not under warranty

6 sets of break pads and 1 set of disks

6 CVboots replaced.

Both drive shafts have now gone, Peugeot have told me there are not covered by their 2 year full warranty even though its only done 65k miles, just been quoted £850+VAT to replace them, saying I am mad is a understatement.

Front light-Main Beam bulbs last less then 1 month at best.

Rear tailgate light keeps falling off, I have now had to mastic it on.
Mud guards fell off in the first week we got it, Cab direct said its not their fault! :lol:

underfloor ramp surrounds are all loose, not got through to Cabdirect to find a solution, no one ever replies to any message and every phone call to them sends you straight to an answerphone.

Rear fold up seats seat-belts have never fully retracted after use, you have to gently ease them back, again never had a reply from Cabdirect!

Cracks all over the plastic driver guard, apparently its a feature :mrgreen:

As soon as I can replace mine with a proper taxi I will, and I will never ever buy a peugeot again, or spend one penny with Cab direct. Its a shame because they look nice and the passengers like the cab. Bernard Mansell here I come.

They are the del boys of the taxi world..........I will never ever purchase another vehicle from them as they will lie to you and cheat you if they can. :evil:
