Time to sell the 207 but what an amazing car!
Discussion
When I bought my new 207 (1.6HDi 110 Sport) in 2006 everyone thought I was an idiot saying it'd be plagued with faults. Here we are over 7 years later and it's on the drive with 125k miles on the clock and apart from dealer servicing (Mobil 1) every 12k on the button it's never been to the garage: completely faultless. Its last road trip under my ownership is this weekend where I'll do about 700 miles round trip to France.
It's been driven flat out plenty of times and still does same top speed today as it did on day 1, otherwise 90 clicks pretty much wherever possible. Still does high 40s to the gallon driven hard and still does up to 64mpg average if I want big MPG. It's even done 7 laps of the 'ring when I towed my motorbike through Belgium/Germany twice without complaint.
Completely amazing, zero mechanical faults just an EGR valve which sticks from time to time. I'm sure the elective first oil change at 6k plus every scheduled service hit on the button with Mobil 1 has helped enormously.
What a tremendous car and such a shame that because of the odometer reading it'll sell for peanuts.
Kids are getting bigger and since I drive them from Norfolk to Surrey a lot, I decided it's time for a bigger more comfortable car.

I see what you mean, however I already had/have three people looking to buy it so it's just a bit of positive French car copy. If I need to advertise it I'll buy an ad.Mods: please delete if it's too much of an advert...
