So I decided to keep the e3008. Why? Well it was all little electric gremlins and apart from the boot opening which is serious, the rest was more of a nuisance. Also because I managed to scrape together £2.4k for another car and just decided that I wanted to keep it and get a wee weekend away for me and the missus and do the two kids bedrooms up. I made this decision while the car was in the workshop for 3 weeks. I do like the car, it looks great inside and out and that colour is stunning. It drives brilliantly just a bit harsh over poor roads. But it’s such I nice place to sit, especially at night. Decided to call into the dealers while passing for an update and they told me it’s ready. I wonder when they were going to tell me lol. The head mechanic was sound and honest. So Peugeot don’t know what to do and only could come up with updates. It had 3 updates and nowt else. He explained that they had witnessed nearly all the faults and he told me that the e3008 he had, the boot had opened itself and he was stunned. He apologised and said that he believes the first batch of cars where just rushed in production to get them out to the showrooms. I went on my way, not amused but not peed either, I made my mind up and hoped that the updates worked or at least fixed most. I only drove it the two mile home and didn’t take it out again until this mornings work and school runs then it was parked up until after 6 when the traffic was quieter and we went for a drive to the coast 77 mile round trip in near perfect weather. So what was the car like? F’ing a lot worse than when I sent it in. Within an hour of driving it, albeit the next day it was showing a new fault sign ‘electric traction system fault: repair needed’. That’s a new one and a mechanical problem I presume so maybe dangerous? The screens went blank again. The radio knocked itself off well over 30 times, just off/muted as a quick roll of the volume knob put it back on. And the strangest one. I reset the trip before the drive. It’s a lovely evening here so I didn’t need climate on, so just lights and radio on. All a-b roads so driving between 30-50 mph and what is the MiKWH showing 2.2 MiKWH. What the hell happened from it went in for it to end up so low and being drove easy in perfect conditions. I’m baffled tbh. A big pile of effing scrap that’s going.
I was considering this car but thankfully went for the Honda ZRV. Which has benn 100% perfect.
Really hope you get sorted one way or the other!
