#1: 206 servicing+others or exchange it Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:42 am ---- Hey guys,i've been driving the 206 since december,but it was previously my brothers. "TofuD" which is now in its time to service,but i am at the point in need to change the brake disc+pad,exhaust and the catalytic converter.
Would you guys say its worth doing it on a 1.1 S which is an 04 plate?? Or would you say its best to exchange it for a different car?
And my 206 has different bonnet and rear lights and the sun visor in driver side is gone,would peugeot or other dealers take it for exchange??
I am still a new driver,but i have had my licence for 6 months now and been driving since december till now.
Whats your thoughts on this situation guys??
Thanks

#3: Re: 206 servicing+others or exchange it Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:00 am ---- Quite a lot of money to do though really lol servicing it is £99 on its own,getting the brake and pads replace is £140 or something and no idea about exhaust and catalytic converter,i would love to switch to another 206 but a 1.4l+ or a 307 lol.
Not to mention i got a major dent in passenger front wing panel aswell which needs replacing too.

#5: Re: 206 servicing+others or exchange it Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:00 am ---- Well i can probably do the front wing panel myself,but i have no idea where my local car scrappy are,and i have tried looking on yell for one but don't really give good details on them.
And i was thinking of getting my car serviced,brakes and exhaust replaced in my pug dealer.
And i don't know if you want call myself new driver but i am still on my 1st year so i guess i am still lol,and i did try a quote on a 1.4 307 and insurance cost is same as i am paying my 206 lol.

and brakes and fings, u can get a discount etc. look on kwik fit. also if u have a halfords autocentre near u, or even a halfords, they have leaflets about prices, and discounts atm.
hope that helps
