Rather than add to a now lengthy thread entitled progress report, I thought I'd mention it here, not that there's much to mention. Taking advantage of the current warm weather I put it on ramps and crawled underneath for the first time ever to familiarise myself with its nether regions and inspect for corrosion. The only bit I could detect was on one of the heat shield locking star. clips, so they all got an application of black Hammerite. Interestingly, the front subframe has plastic clip-on protectors - a tribute to Peugeot's reputation for quality. Springs and brake pipes glisten like new after a wipe clean.
Long term petrol consumption over the past 5000 miles is bang on 44.0 mpg. I have decided to gamble nothing major will go wrong during the next twelve months so will eschew wasting the best part of a day and around 200 pounds having a rip-off annual Peugeot 'service'. Changing the oil was a cinch (once I'd got the over-tightened filter off) and cost under thirty pounds for the special 0W30 oil and less than a fiver for the filter.
