letting off steam

recent 206CC owner, love the car ! however I have come to realise something " I HATE PEUGEOT GARAGES " !!!!

all was going well roof down sun shining ! when suddenly the roof alarm came on. So I stopped and tried to figure out why? when I tried to put the roof back up all I got was the alarm. Ran it into Peugeot and they told me that they would have to change two switches/contacts for an obscene amount of money. However 2 days after this the same problem! back to peugeot and they told me that another contact needs changing.The problem is that the car is just outside the european 1 year warranty therefore its me picking up the bill each time.

any advice !!

well it seems that from March of this year yes ! but mine is a Jan 2002 and then it was 1 year. I know that there was an EU law stating 2 years minimum but they have chosen two ignore it. Still I will chase it up with Peugeot customer service but I won't hold my breath. Even though this car is a year old it has only done 1500 klm and is as new

Is that all??????? There's loads of nice places to drive to around there (I should know, it's my home town after all)!!!

well Izzy London is my home town however the sun shines a lot more here ! and yes there is some great scenery which I intend to visit even if my roof dosen't want to go back up ! I have only had the car a month before that it was sat in a showroom and nobody here wanted it as it was right hand drive. So I felt sorry for it and made the dealer an offer he couldn't refuse.

yeah I do miss the sunshine, but for some strange reason not the winters!!!! There's a good French forum here: http://www.forum-auto.com/sqlforum/index.htm with a 206 section, it's quite a laugh on there.

I thought the 2 year warranty kicked in Jan 2002 (yes, 10 days after I picked mine up

) so you should be able to claim...???? Hassle them.
