Hello from The Netherlands

Post by iCandy »

Hi all, I am an English ex-pat living in The Netherlands and have just bought both my first Dutch car and my first Peugeot! I was thrilled today driving home in my lovely new 2001 206 cabrio, in the sun with the roof down, but my joy was short lived - when I pulled up at my house, I pulled my key from the ignition at exactly the same time my young brother decided to shut the roof!!!! Panic stations, I am now with a car whose roof doesn't work and have had to do a manual closure, which has left the roof not fully closed :( I have no money left after purchasing the car so I'm very upset and disappointed to say the least :( Any help or advice would be VERY gratefully appreciated. :love-thx:

I often say to new owners that most problems are self-inflicted. A search of the forum should provide the way forward for you.

Here's a start
http://www.peugeot206cc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9896

Then read the owners manual front to back to avoid future mishaps. Get your young brother to read it too.
