    got the particle filter done in car,changed air coolant fan i think its called,had to put in new rear shocks,just got 2 wheels replaced that fan belt is on and now catalic converter is giving trouble!the car has been nothing but a nightmare!

    Peugeot change diesel particle filters default around 100k mls...the cooling fans can fail...these are variable speed units so they are expensive.

    Rear shocks don't normally fail on the 407's..:confused:

    Crankshaft pulleys can fail around 100k mls..the tend to clatter under acceleration.
    Did you replace the dual mass flywheel yet..?

    I run a 90's Almera as a "here's a free, fully fuelled/taxed/insured car lads, drive the sh1te out of it at my expense why don't ye" car for workers to go from work to home/hotel etc. It never goes wrong. Ever. Nobody cares for it, nobody is responsible for it, nobody minds it. And "nobody" is very happy that it runs and runs without a single issue regardless. It clocks up at least 700 km a week, every week btw. Good car.

    Do you do a lot of short journeys where the engine doesn't get up to operating temperature for very long?
