I bought a new E7 taxi in 2007 and have had nothing but trouble with it from day one.
The list of breakdowns is far too long to list here and most cannot believe it like I am only joking.
The list includes 5 clutches, 3 fuel pumps, 3 anti roll bars etc etc. Everyone agrees that the quality of the replacement parts are of such a poor quality that they can only last a very short period of time. Although most parts are covered by a 12 month warranty, I keep having to have several days off at a Time which is costing me hundreds of pounds a day.
Neither the supplier or the manufacturer are interested in the problem.
Is there any way that I can insist they buy the car back on the basis of it not being made man enough for the job of taxi because the replacement parts wear out or break far too quickly. ?
The E7 is a conversion that starts out as an expert van. Do Peugeot expect the expert van to do in excess of 50k miles per year?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
