#1: two problems to start off with, help needed. Author: p206gti, Location: meltham,west yorksPosted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:04 pm ---- Hello there everybody, newbie here with a couple of questions but im sure there will be more to come!!
First off we just got our 206 gti (v reg) home to find the display at the top of the dash isnt working, there's no time date etc nothing just blank, is it easy to take out and what is the likely hood its something simple or do they just die?
Secondly thisone might be more expensive i fear, the front car looks like its been lowered but the back is sticking up in the air and just looks very high to me, ive been looking at threads and maybe its the rear beam thats faulty or is it a case of the torsion bars are knackered and need replaceing, i know there's no spare wheel in the back so there's no wieght but i cant believe it should be that high.

Got any pics of it?

Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 2:45 pm ---- The standard height of the front on all 206s look as if the nose of the car points down (Peugeot did this on purpose) I'll see if I can get a picture of my car when it was a stock car
