Yep. The Peugeot is giving poor old Jason grief again.
The familiar screen of death flashed up on Jason's dashboard this afternoon.
"Engine fault. Repair needed."
And then the Peugeot shuddered and conked out on the corner of Adelaide and Wharf Street in the City. This is the third warranty repair and it doesn't include a factory recall when he first purchased the car.
I feel a double cab ute could be on the cards for our next vehicle. The Peugeot's days are numbered.
So I dedicate this Peugeot song to Jason. Seriously hilarious. I suspect it will be Jason's theme song. Click here.

I am a dual cab ute driving mum. We have his and hers utes which works perfectly. Best car decision we ever made.

Anonymous, you guys are clearly wiser than us!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, yes. A big one at that!

I know how you feel. Our Peugeot is back for a 5th time in 7 seven months. Each time it is at the service centre for a minimum of 2-3 weeks, so we have barely driven it since picking it up brand new. Beyond over it. I wish you both all the best with your car and hope it can be fixed asap! Fifi x
ReplyDeleteFifi, you have to be kidding me? That is just crazy...xx
ReplyDeletePoor poor Jason this is really tres tres terrible!! He paints and paints and all he asks for in return is a fancy suit and his pretty car... Life is cruel. I hope he didn't damage the suit in the breakdown. As an aside I follow nicks other blog klaused he is hilarious although I am yet to forgive him for coming to Brisbane to do stand up and I didn't find out till after the show ... You and I could have been his Brisbane fan base ha
ReplyDeleteTime for a German made saloon arrangement Jason. Mr FF was scared too- he was afraid it would make him look and feel old but that car is comfy and importantly does what it is mean to- works. Good luck x
ReplyDeleteKatherine, hilarious! And I can't believe Nick was in Brissie doing stand up? No way. I would've gone to see him too.
ReplyDeleteFF, Jason and I are in deep discussion re next vehicle. German reliability has been mentioned a few times...
Oh I feel your pain, my car has been rear ended twice in four months so its at the smash repairs more than its at home, so far i have been in a hire car since anzac day & looking like staying that way for at least another 4 weeks aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteA Mercedes-Benz 300 S Class with a midcentury interior: that's what I say. Maybe a little cocktail bar in the back.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Honestly, I don't know why people get so excited about European cars, I've only ever had bad experiences. My last car was a new VW Beetle that was on a tow truck three times in a year.
ReplyDeleteAfter that, I googled 'most reliable car' and bought a Honda. Love it.
Oh dear. Poor Jason. Pas de tout.
ReplyDeleteI still associate Foux Da Fa Fa as a theme song with Jason from one of your earlier posts. We have very boring cars but if I ever daydream about having a nice car, it is always German. Hope it is sorted out soon x
ReplyDeleteEkk! I hope you can give the car back or something. Sounds like a lemon. I'm especially commiserating because I spent 3 hours broke down on the side of the street (terribly TERRIBLY hung over) in the hot sun this past weekend. Serves me right. But Jason prob didn't deserve it...not with all that painting he's been doing.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that's no good! Peugot clearly need to get their act together. I say yes to the twin cab ute. Utes are the handiest things ever :)
ReplyDeleteThat thing is serious! I would put it smack into the middle of my edibles garden so there would be some structure there instead of just a big odd space! Gosh, it's really beautiful.

ReplyDeleteSeriously everyone raves about a VW and reliablilty. No no madamoiselle - In my case it's been a lemon from the start.
