I had the same issue on my 59 plated 207 verve and has been 'fixed' under the extended warranty. I'm no expert when it comes to cars (the complete opposite if I'm totally honest), but I know something's not right with the car now I have it back.

Since I've had the car back I've noticed that there's a bit of a clunking noise from time to time when changing gear when coming off the biting point, the computer isn't accurate for my fuel levels any more, it thinks I have enough fuel for 162 miles, the same figure it was before I did a 90 odd mile journey on the weekend! Also, when going 70, it's now pulling 4-4.5k revs in 5th gear whereas before, it was doing between 1500-2500.

Before I go back to the garage to have a moan, does anyone have any ideas what could be causing these issues??

Thanks

As above, took her car into Peugeot several months ago and they replaced the head gasket as a good will gesture, 6 months out of warranty. However, it's now dripping oil again and looks like we are right back where we were at the start of the year. frown
