Peugeot 607 “The overtime car”
Discussion
So the end of the road has come for the 607. Recently the dual mass flywheel has become noisy and is getting noisier. I’ve priced it up and compared to other cars with dmf’s it’s not too bad but I’m don’t want to spend £700 on a car I paid £950 for.
It’ll be on eBay in the next couple of days, I expect someone who can change the clutch and flywheel themselves will have it. It’ll be a cheap car for someone as it drives well other than that with no other problems.

I guess in some cases it would but I can see it being a slippery slope with this car. I could go and change the DMF then it could need a set of injectors which isn’t unlikely on a 125k car or the multitude of other things that aren’t unlikely.
Unfortunately whilst having this car I’ve always had in the back of my mind it’s a well used french car and well used french cars don’t have the greatest reputation for reliability. An example would be the random electrical errors it comes up with every so often but once cleared don’t return.
Still, it’s done 6000 miles since August and not let me down so I’m happy enough. It can even return 55mpg on a run. Time to move on to something else and spend a bit more money this time to get something a bit better.

Ah wellIt’ll be on eBay in the next couple of days, I expect someone who can change the clutch and flywheel themselves will have it. It’ll be a cheap car for someone as it drives well other than that with no other problems.
I came to the same conclusion when ours went.
Shame, will probably be a good buy for someone with the tools.

A well written ad, and up to £510 already! But who the hell needs a power boot lid, on a saloon?!
Yes, it seems a well written add. He could also put a link to PH to show the work done 
It will be a good buy for someone who can do a DMF at home.
Almost tempted myself but the wife would kill me.

To be fair I think that’s just to show off the clever bit of design to open the boot. The middle of the 0 in the 607 badge is the button. That button is seemingly the highlights for most people, several people have been genuinely excited by that!I like the needlessly powered features on this car. Who is so lazy that they can’t even move their own headrest?
