Peugeot 206 Trouble...

    Hello All,



    I would really appreciate any help,

    I drive a 2003 Peugeot 206. Bought it March 06 & never had a problem with it. Until last week...



    My boyfriend was driving it using the spare key and the car just turned itself off mid-trip. Was lucky we were only driving in 2nd gear at the time and not on the m50 or anything!



    We pulled in and I restarted it with my key (the original) and it worked fine! I thought maybe that the spare key wasn't made for continiuos use and had "x" amount of uses or something??



    Thought no more about it and tried to book it in for its now overdue service (about 10k overdue :(



    But tonight driving home from work the same thing happened with my key and it wouldnt re-start! I had to abandon it and get a taxi home!



    Not from Dublin so will need to get it towed by a garage asap and get it all fixed.

    Any ideas for a garage or what could be wrong?



    Any suggestions are much appreciated, Thanks...

    That would be the first thing I would be doing. Have you/somebody else been checking fluid levels etc?

    Had a peugeot before this one and it had immobliser problems but thought it was a once off thing but i really dont want to ever buy another french car!

    In terms of fluids, they are checked often and are fine.

    Any garage suggestions? Its now in the middle of ballybrack but thankfully I am based in cherrywood so not too far away.

    Anyone know of any garages that will pick it up for me and look at it and service it?
