Hi Martin,

I've getting nowhere near the claimed MPG at present, on a run (what ever
that means when your stop start on the M25 etc.) I'm getting around
40-42MPG, around town, and there not long drives, it's obviously a lot less.
My overall average so far is 38MPG, just coming up to 12K miles (I record
everything).

You asked previously about niggles:-

Tyre pressure sensors had to be changed, the garage then broke the security
bolt on one of the front wheels, and tried to tell me I had lost the cover
clip. I 'explained' they were all there fitted when it went in, I want them
fitted when the vehicle is returned. A new set of security bolts later, and
the problem was solved. 6 weeks to resolve.

Front nearside passenger window:- would not fully retract. It went in to
have the problem sorted, the car was returned with the 'vehicle technicians'
paw prints all over the car. I 'explained' again, it was clean when it went
in, I want it clean when it comes out. A free valet later and all nice
again.

Boot would not open:- dry solder joint on the boot switch, however the
dealers broke the boot trim retaining clips and had to order replacements, 4
weeks later replacements were fitted.

Near side rear window trim - damaged on collection:- took the dealer 5
attempts to obtain and fit replacement trim, without making it look worse
than when it went in. Total saga took 4 months to sort out.

All in all I love the car, however the dealers still need to learn that it's
your money that they are playing with when you take the car to them for
service/remedial works to be performed. My dealer is slowly learning.
Biggest problem in the early days was parts, new car no parts available,
though this is getting better.

I'm still looking for an English forum on the 407.
