annoying things about my 206cc

1. gear box is really clunky - have taken it back to dealer and they say nothing is wrong, that they are all like that? i
2. feels really unstable at high speed, anything over 100 and the steering feels dangerously light . am too ashamed of my bad driving habits to mention this to the dealer.
3. my seat sometimes moves back when I'm driving, just shoots all the way back! again they say nothing is wrong but have suggested it can happen when people get in or oout of the backseat and don't push the lever properly?

are these common problems?

1 think they are all like
2 have you checked tyre pressures ?
3 could be as you describe but also could be worn seat runners mine was replaced after the the seat wouldn't lock at all

a quickshift from www.griffiths-engineering.co.uk will make the geabox feel amazing, have done this on both my last 206s and it transforms the car - not too expensve either!

the seat souns lik a dodgy runner, hadthis on my 106 so it should be able to be replaced under warranty

Can they wear out that quickly tho? The car is not very old, a couple of months and only has 3000 miles on the clock.

it could just be a faulty one - the one in our 106 was gone after 8000 miles which I'm sure can't have been wear and tear
