Yes I suppose that's the cheapest option of all but it needs the police and mobile companies to do something about it, whereas the other one you could just give them the grid ref and they can get on with it ...

If it's tracking I was considering getting one of these which are a combined GSM phone and GPS. You can text it a message, it turns the GPS on, gets a fix, and sends you a text back with the location (which you can put in google maps). The TR102 model has GPRS abilities to be real-time tracked too. ...

Agh! Probably like the windows too, they don't go all the way up when you pull the control to its second position like they used to on the 206cc, now they stop after a few cms :( I'm not sure why they don't trust you with being able to control things like this. There are a few configurable options w...

> Automatic/variable speed wipers gone, just intermittant and 2 speed now To correct myself, checked the manual for the 207cc, and the intermittent wipers wipe dependent upon the speed of the car. The 206cc ones used to speed up as the rain got heavier, on the 207cc they speed up as you go quicker. ...

I had Aegean Blue and went for the Thorium Grey as this one . I was happy with any colour except the green - but the dealer had this one in stock with leather so I collected it within a week. In a way it helped to take that decision away, I wouldn't have known which way to go. I test drove in an Asm...

Steering is lighter than 206cc when parking but offers resistance when driving. Yes the 207cc is stiffer and doesn't twist as much with the roof down when driving along bumpy roads. The electric windows seem faster, they used to labour on the 206cc to make it all the way to the top... I've never tri...

I just saw you already own a 206cc. What I noticed: Seats much more comfortable Better acceleration (comparing 2.0L CC to the 1.6L 150 THP) Better gearbox (more positive, less throw) Power steering just right, light when parking but heavier at speed Great stereo, plays MP3's, wished I'd had the blue...

I bought one a few weeks back and am very pleased. I had a 206cc for 4 years and was very pleased with it but to me the 207cc is a great progression with some really good gadgets added and is altogether more refined. The switchgear feels a lot higher quality, the ride is better both roof up and down...

You should be able to reset the service indicator, I found this on the Peugeot manual website (http://public.infotec.peugeot.com). Button 1 as described is the button between the speedo and temperature gauges. If you carry out the service yourself, the reset procedure is as follows: – Switch off the...

It's a policy underwritten by UK Insurance Limited, the layout of the paperwork is familiar to anyone who has been insured by Direct Line, Tesco etc and a quick google suggests they underwrite lots of other companies. It also covers driving of other cars 3rd party by the policyholder. It probably ma...

> I really couldn’t help but feel that my 206 felt much quicker. To try and see if this I took out the 207cc GT again for a longer run along faster dual carriageways and to me it did feel more rapid than the 206cc (although I didn't have the opportunity to side-by-side it like you did!). The turbo k...

I didn't have the benfit of the 24 hour test drive - I just had a quick test drive and never really pressed for the full 24 hour drive even though the test drive was arranged on the back of a web-response for the 24 hour drive. I felt on the short test-drive I did, the turbo definitely felt punchier...

Many thanks both, I suspected the same but good to hear it is so. Or isn't so, as it happens :)
