Hi, look for, at the very least, 2.0HDi, 90BHP, DW10TD, although probably the new 307's engines have different parameters, check it please. I don't know how do you drive, if softly it would be nice engine, if you have sport aspiration look for 2.0HDi 110BPH or 136BPH engines.

Hi I have a problem > with my 307 --- Please put it in writing so we can ignore you. After reading your list it reminded me of a few more The windows should close when the car is locked - this became an intermittent feature Break discs lasted 30K before cracking. The new set seem to be heading the same way. Intermittent burning smell when driving and center tunnel getting hot (I think this is the FAP regenerating but it's rather off-putting while driving) >>>>In all seriousness, DONT DO IT.

Go for the Meridian trim-level and get all the toys. You won't regret it. You WILL regret buying a 307. SignaturesA > You WILL regret buying a 307. Hmm, not a great number of 307 fans. I've had 307's as hire cars. What stopped me buying one was that I am tall and I found a problem with the latest ones, when I adjusted the seat and steering wheel until I was comfortable I could not see the bottom of the instrument cluster, which was annoying at night because I could not see the indicator lamps showing whether I was on dip or main beam without leaning forward. It also did not feel any bigger than my old 306, though I am sure the first 307's did feel bigger. The early 307 did also felt a bit 'van-ish' compared to the 306,despite me having the really sporty 1.9 non-turbo desiel. I got a year old 407 in the end.

Nah, just the 307 HDi DT .. and love it to bits ... just so long as it doesn't start suffering any of the problems associated with the earlier models (Y/01). Our 02 was trouble free (though I note in here that people have probs with 02 ones) and our 04 is a great fun, a great drive and in that classic blue colour as well. The wipers annnoy me in as much as they are set up for LHD ... and I'm not aware that there is a conversion available. See ya, Phil C > No shortage of problems in here on the 407!! (But good for you if you > have a good one) Only had it three weeks. Bit of a culture shock after a '93 306! Signaturehttp://www.petezilla.co.uk And my experience from my 307 '51 plate: > Head gasket blown at ~45K Not yet on mine, coolant and everything else is fine > Clutch failed and had to be replaced (known fault) allready looks like it's been replaced > Coolant leaks Nope, not one just a little weeping around the top rad hose > CD player a pile of ****, keeps crashing (doesn't even have repeat!) No probems and it does have repeat (although only on one disc at a time), ok it doesn't play CD-R/W's but that's all I can fault it on > Door pannels vibrate badly when you turn the volume up. Happens in any car ;-) just more so in the 307 as the speakers are mounted on the door trim panels and they're not rigid enough > Electrics reboot for no reason, fun at night when all the lights turn off > for a few seconds Had it happen once in 8 months > Carpet does not fit Ok I'll give you that one but you only notice it if you look closely where the footwells and sill cover meet > windscreen wipers do not go to the edge of the screen and wipe in wrong > order (crap conversion from left hand driver) Same problem with any other LHD derived car, although I find washing the car keeps the screen clear enough! > FAP filter needs replacing (£600!!) not needed that yet > D-Turbo tyres ~£140 each due to werid size (not really a fault) but gets > through them rather fast Ever though of trying another make? Kumho £80 fitted inc VAT, as for getting through them fast; drive less aggressively (that's also probably where some of oyur other problems come from) > Lots of strange bangs and crashes from suppension while driving Yep, not as refined as a 306 but when loaded up it's fine and doesn't bottom out > Garage's are on the whole, crap (Find this with most makes these days) > though the current one is quite good. You get that with about 90% of all main dealer garages these days > Engine cover/guard (the one at the bottom) partly fell off, resulting in it > being smashed on a speed hump. HOW??? did you hit something first (like the speed bump).. it's actually fixed in place ontop of the reverse side of the bumper so that it CAN'T fall down under it's own weight even if all the front screws fall out > Trim generally falling off.

Hi martin, It was with great trepidation we traded in our 3 year old focus for an 8 month old 02 reg 307hdi 110bhp with 8000 miles on it. 30,000 miles in 18 months and absolutely no problems ... although we did hear a creaking seemingly from the front suspension .. so took it to the dealers. They fixed it under warranty (a known problem) and while I was waiting for the car to be fixed I saw an 04 reg 8 month old 307 hdi 110 with 13000 miles on. I'd changed jobs and was doing far fewer miles. The car had was a 'DT' model with the XSi spec (all the toys and half leather 'recaro' style seats. We picked it up 4 days later and have had it for a year (done 7000 miles) and it has been trouble free ... well ok, the boot latch got a bit fiddly to open .. and was changed under warranty. I think the 307 will go up the JD power rating as the newer ones start to be taken into account. Happy motoring. Phil C. Hi All, I have the 307 HDI 110 SW. I have had the car for 5 months, it has done 37000 miles. * CD changer crashes, especially if changing via the stalk control. Changing rapidly hastens the disorder. * Awful vibration of passenger door speakers and have started to listen to it without bass!! * Steering vibration over 68mph despite wheels being balanced. * Back of passenger seats - Covers come off * Seat travel adjustments tempermenal We have a second car, a Peugeot 405 GTX with 123000 on the clock. This is so solid on the road and it has an excellent speaker system as standard. After all this time it uses no oil. 405 - 9 out of 10 307 - 6 out of 10 Iain |
