Yep needs a new speed sensor. 10 minute job to do and i think there actually quite cheap to get from peugeot. Wouldnt bother with a second hand one as there quite common for failing |

that sounds like it could be a lambda sensor,.. will drop in power,.. and then jump into life like some one just gave it a kick up the ass!  separate issue to your speedo I recon,... try your fuse box there's a small metal fuse left of center try taking this out give it a wipe and put it back,.. they sometime build up static or something and this causes your speedo to fail sometimes,..  I have a spare gearbox sensor kicking around if you need one? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Same here, I had a problem with mine a few years back, although it randomly sorted itself out without me changing it.  You shouldn't experience a power loss with that issue though.  I think roughly from Pug they are around the £20 mark.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

My boot is still the same one that was on the car when I bought it,.. along with most of the interior but that's about all I haven't had to replace! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
