The steering wont lock unless the ignition key is removed from the barrel.
All that is happening is you are loosing the power assistance to the steering

Or does the rev counter still show the correct engine speed?

Like fook would i continue driving it - tad bit dangerous if ya ask me. Can ya not have the engine checked or just drop a 2.0ltr in probably solved

#11: Re: Car completely cutting out while driving Author: peachypeachez, Location: March, CambridgeshirePosted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:16 pm ---- Let us know what the diag scan reads then ant
#12: Re: Car completely cutting out while driving Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:31 pm ---- No its not a common problem, but i guess the car is a very early model maybe a S/T reg. So after the amount of time thats past, things start failing like the fuel pump.
Has the fuel filter ever been changed?
#13: Re: Car completely cutting out while driving Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 4:00 pm ---- Its a very early one yeah, i'm not sure to be honest lee, ill give him a text tomorrow and get him to find out, could well have been as it was serviced before he got it, on the other hand, its missing a few bits here and there and hasnt been too well looked after lol

The cutting out problem was fixed by Peugeot before they built your car.

Can I just ask, because I can't remember... my mind is like a sieve
What exactly did Peugeot do to fix this problem and when did they resolve it?

There have been many issues / fixes carried out over the years, anything built after late 2005 should be pretty much problem free as far as the cut out problem goes.

It WONT be the cut out problem, it was fixed well before your car was thrown together
Its under extended warranty, take it back to the dealer.
