It could be really cheap (1 damaged wire/connector, 10 min job) or it could need a whole wiring loom (£hundreds). The only way to find out is by getting it into an autoelectrician and asking ... but you've already been told that !

You need a Peuegot Planet diagnostic. That will be the cheapest and most comprehensive check without throwing parts at the problem. That diagnostic equipment can read live data and check current and voltage on cables and components, whereas generic code readers can't.

Is there anyone close to you on this map?

Its a list of Peugeot drivers with a bit of technicial knowledge and the Planet diagnostic equipment, so they know what they're doing, and don't do repairs so won't rip you off.

On the Peugeot forums we've had people come to us who've been told by garages and even well known breakdown companies that components like the ABS unit or fuel pump have failed and need replacing when its been found to be a wiring issue.
