Certainly my first instinct, sir... Problem is there are only about 12 of these cars available nationwide. Next best option (taking price/mileage into account) is a private sale near Manchester, and I'm on the other side of the Pennines. I will persist, but with great care.

Outside temp gauges do a lot more on some vehicles, euro 6 esp, than you might imagine, the temp displayed for the driver is only a by product in some cases.

Can cause all sorts of issues, fuelling and emissions will be trying to work to that temp, in lorries it can cause the adblu to stop being used completely and vehicle down on power.

Another car dealer who deserves never to sell another car by the sound of it, were they wearing red noses and size 20 shoes and did the exhaust backfire and the doors fall of their car when they arrived at work in the morning.

My two-penn'orth:

1) it could easily be refitted? I guess it would rattle where it is though ...

3) was the reservoir empty? Should be easily sorted anyway ...

4) maybe showing °F, not °C ? Some on-line weather reports do that for a few seconds. Is that possible? I think if sensors fail, they usually show nothing ?

Agree about pride in their work, but these faults don't sound horrendous to me. No need to walk away as long as they are willing to do the necessary. I presume you were happy with the test drive ?

Yes, towing eye could easily be re-fitted, but its position would seem to indicate it had recently been used. 3) I don't think the reservoir was empty, rear screen wash was fully operational. I would have thought the front screen wash operating that inneficently would be an M.O.T. failure? We'd driven across the M62 that morning, and the roads were covered with salt. I think we would very quickly have reached the point of being unable to see out of the windscreen.

4) I initially thought the same, but there was a "C" symbol next to the temperature. I googled the issue whilst waiting for the salesperson to return, and it's a known Peugeot fault. Gargae fitting "new mirror" today.. they only needed to replace the sensor. I'm still considering my options.
