4 years, 110k miles and every one on the limiter and apart from an outrageous thirst for discs and pads (60 horses plus 1800kg = only slowing at the last nano second) it's never missed a beat, so much for cheap French cars eh? :happy2:

French diesels have always been excellent tbh.

My old 106 diesel was a tough old cookie
