Ill bet my next wage they didnt use the correct locking tools.
Get it to a Peugeot dealer or specialist then charge the garage for the work.

It sounds like they havnt been able to time it properly.
As i say take it to Peugeot and get them to confirm that and then bill the company that messed the work up in the first place.

The word "b******s" springs to mind lol, its running bad because they havnt done the job right, was it down on power before it went in?

Timing will be out, the 180's are known for it.

It will probably be the exhaust cam one tooth out it does happen quite regularly.
I disagree with the person above^
its not the 180's fault people can't time it properly it is awkward

There is some legal clause they can only charge you if the car is improved in someway when it comes out of the garage i think
