Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / September 20051995 306 Dturbo - How many miles will it do then?
I have just begun to spend a fair bit of money on this car and I wondered if its all worth it! So far this month I have had new drums on the rear, shoes, and bearings. Then I had new P-bushes to the front lower suspension arm fitted, last month was new glow plugs and the heater matrix! - What next ! Its done 135K miles, and F.S.H - how many miles will she do before it lets go completely? worth spending more money on? Who has the most mileage on one of these ? Cheers Adrian > I have just begun to spend a fair bit of money on this car and I wondered if > its all worth it! [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Who has the most mileage on one of these ? I currently have 180K on mine and going like a dream. Sailed through it's last MOT. Jim > I have just begun to spend a fair bit of money on this car and I > wondered if its all worth it!

All you've replaced, are consumables that wear out with mileage. If you haven't replaced the Shock Absorbers yet, I'd make that next on the list - they'll be *very* tired after 135k :) Hi Nom, > replaced the Shock Absorbers yet, I'd make that next on the list - they'll > be *very* tired after 135k :) Possibly, but the Pug shocks are known to be excellent and unbreakable. Ok, I'm unlucky, I've got one leaking at 89,000 miles only :-( Regards, G.T 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : www.205d.com >> I have just begun to spend a fair bit of money on this car and I >> wondered if its all worth it!

Cheers for all replies!

Its got 137k, No signs of body rust, sports interior is in mint condition, no oil leaks etc. The only things i have changed since ive owned it is the obvious wear and tears...and i jacked the rear end up and it tore the axle mounts out, replaced all 4 , quite simple to do. whether its a common problem i do not know. and i put a radiator on it, again quite a simple job. It feels like mine will go on forever (touch wood) but i will need to put on front brake flexi hoses at somepoint soon. > Mines running great apart from a starting problem but nothing > stopping it performing well.

The engines should last for ages, over 200k should be possible and as far as I know the bodywork lasts well too, at least other Pugs do reasonably well.  SignatureMalc
