Lion takes a leak

[Waugh-terfall]

Original Story Here - Pistonheads

Another day, another European car has been found with a fault that could kill you.

This time 240,000 Peugeot 307s are broken. It’s nothing major, apart from a fault in the ABS/Stability control system!

A seal in the ABS/ESP hardware case has been found to leak – and as we all know, electricity + water = er, sparks and malfunctions.

So 240,000 cars made between 2003 and 2006 have been recalled, and owners have received letters letting them know that their car might get a bit….er, hairy under braking.

Still, a few less 307s on the road can hardly be a bad thing now, can it?......just as long as nobody gets hurt in the process.



I think it may be time to tell Dad NOT to buy one to replace the Mazda...

Especially when there so many better options.

I thought that the looks were enough in order to not buy one.

It's not that bad, we're looking at the CoupeCabriolet though, looks nicer than the rest of the range

It's still fugly. And heavy. And slow. And about to be replaced.

I know, we're not getting a brand new one, it's just one of the options we're looking at

Which are the others?

Forget about the Peugeot, get something good.

Just to clear some minds here.

When cars are "recalled", they are not scrapped and the owner gets a new car.
It's recalled to it's nearest repair shop to replace the failing part.

Just so you know....

typical PH sensationalism.

A widely reported recall of 240,000 Peugeot 307 model cars is specific to Scandinavian markets and an extension, by model year, of a previously announced campaign, a Peugeot UK spokesman

Ok scrap all of those...

Buy an Alfa Romeo 147.

Dad won't buy one of them, it's most likely to be the 3, Leon or Golf I think

Then the Leon.

[Waugh-terfall]

Most probably but the boots a little awkward for the puppy we'll be getting shortly before the car

I was expecting some sort of Discovery Channel production on lion's urinary habits...
