I have no idea about cars. I know nothing.
The only reason I have a 206 is because I inherited it...
And so I'm left finding out how it works and how I can improve. But I have nothing to put it up against, so I come here for advice...
1) I have no idea what all your little sentences mean... hdi? gti and whatnot, so please just... cut it out for me. I realise I'm an idiot in this area, but I DO try to make an effort...
I should probably know more about my car... but I don't... I don't even know when it was manufactured, which I apparently needed when I went to get windshield-wipers. I have no idea how to figure it out either :/
I just know it says Peugeot 206, but I imagine there are different versions as well and such things... it's got 3 doors!
So, questions...
1) where is there a cheap place to buy windshield wipers online? (in DK it's pretty expensive)
2) if I want an FM transmitter, what would you suggest? I've looked at the pricey ends, but all seems to contain noise. Would it be better to install a car-radio with AUX? (is that even correct?)
3) How far does your car go on the litre? I thought I could check it on a forum, but there's... well I might not be able to find it. What is the "normal" milage/km?
4) There's a neat strap in the trunk where I can strap in the windshield-wiper-can, but are there other neat tricks to keep it all secure and tight and where can I get it?
5) where's the best place to buy emergency kit (triangle, light-vest, whatever's needed in emergencies)
The two last I imagine I can google, but I'd rather hear it from people who knows...
Once more... give it to me with a spoon, because I have no idea about cars right now 
Awesomeness.

1)Ebay
2)Better to get an aux as radio waves wont interfere
3) never really taken notice of this sorry.
4) There are a lot of different little things on the different versions of the 206, if you have any idea what model your car is then we can answer this one
5) ebay?

2) FM transmitter is pretty bad, no matter how much it cost. get a cheap head unit is the best choice if you want aux-in
3) depends on what engine you have got and what fuel do you use.....mine got over 52mpg (2.0 diesel)

Get a Haynes Manual and a Max Power Modding guide for the 206 from Halfords, that's how I learned

Doubt they have Halfords in Denmark 
1) where is there a cheap place to buy windshield wipers online? (in DK it's pretty expensive)
Either www.eim.ebay.dk/ or your local motor factors.
2) if I want an FM transmitter, what would you suggest? I've looked at the pricey ends, but all seems to contain noise. Would it be better to install a car-radio with AUX? (is that even correct?)
A headunit with a AUX input would give you superior sound quality and would be better. I had a FM transmitter and it was pretty poor.
3) How far does your car go on the litre? I thought I could check it on a forum, but there's... well I might not be able to find it. What is the "normal" milage/km?
It all depends on the driving style. I have a 2.0HDi and that can vary from 0.08 litres per km to 0.04 litres per km
4) There's a neat strap in the trunk where I can strap in the windshield-wiper-can, but are there other neat tricks to keep it all secure and tight and where can I get it?
You can get a cargo net that connects to the four hoops on the rear of the seats
5) where's the best place to buy emergency kit (triangle, light-vest, whatever's needed in emergencies)
Any motor factor, retail shop, or ebay.dk
