From the history, the belt was done about 10k ago. It's an R plate sitting on 95k miles. I'll give it a service and change the lambda sensor and see how it goes! Thanks alot for the quick responces!  iv just noticed it's been off the road for nearly 18months!!!! The last owner said it was only garaged for 6months. that's according to the dvla website on when it was last out of tax!! So it's definately going to need a service and a good run! Thanks again. |

my fuel light and gauge are both shocking so might be worth brimming it and seeing how much it takes to fill back up after so many miles could just be that. mine does around 350 to a tank with average driving conditions. seen over a hundred more than that with all sensible motorway miles though. |

Thats a fair point, the 6speed does take a bit of getting used to. Just out of curiosity, is it better to go to peugeot for the lambda or is aftermarket okay? |
