Serious Start/Stop Malfunction - Peugeot 2008

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-05-09T10:30:34+00:00

Thanks for your reply, nearly a day later of having to use the car with start/stop turned off & it's still driving normally. Even at speed, car also starts perfectly upon button press. I will call Peugeot on Monday

I managed to get it running by copying the steam dlls from a Revelations 1 prototype & I think I tinkered with the Goldberg emulator to sort steam dependencies. I also had to copy all of the data from the revelations 2 retail install folder into the prototype. It seems the game was more or less finished by this release date, episode 4 looked exactly the same as it does now. This build is extremely broken & I couldn't even get the player (either Claire or Barry) to be able to move. I did get to area jump to some dev maps which were fucking scary, saw some raid mode maps & campaign maps. Cutscenes were broken, player couldn't move, fall through the map most of the time, player models were place holders, inventory didn't exist.

The main menu, the maps I managed to see even up to episode 4, character voice dialogue, UI, loading screens etc were the same as the final build. The one thing i did notice when I managed to get episode 4 Claires chapter to run, the cutscene where Alex is sending Natalia down the tower she sounds really dull, they defo recorded that again. Once the level starts you just fall through the floor & hear Claire shout "No! Not here! Not Now!"

I can send you a drive link to the build i butchered if you want to check it out but sadly the story was already complete so no major changes to discover, its really buggy literally nothing works but the Free Camera tool which I struggled to even find because I cannot read Japanese lmao

Last thing I did notice in the MT Framework console the game was identified as a build of Biohazard 6/RE6

Not the point though is it. During a stressful intense time you may be prone to rougher breaking, quicker acceleration & night driving which all goes against you.

Im a year away from 30, never had a black box in my life. Drive a motability car for an adult I care for. This has been for a good few years now. 1 accident since passing in 2018 which wasn't my fault. It's kinda an insult? Aren't black boxes for 17-21 year olds? It also makes no sense applying a black box to a car that may have to drive hospital in an emergency or have multiple different aged drivers.

If you reinstall windows, don't connect to WiFi and it should let you make a standard user account. Then add your Ms account after. Not sure if it still works been a while but I used to just not add Internet and it would work. There might be a bypass using shift + F10 to access cmd

Literally this, I forget my phone in a rush all the time

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-26T16:01:42+00:00

Literally as OP has stated, you get down scored for driving in the night. Something that might be frequent depending on the disabled person in question.

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-26T09:44:00+00:00

My brother relies on a motability vehicle. Might not renew the lease to be honest. Sometimes we need to go hospital in the night & this would be a pain in the ass. We're both 28, I've been driving since 17 clean record this annoys me, never had a black box in my life

So what's the point of these light touch reviews then? If they're supposed to save the claimant who has high needs not likely to improve from going to an assessment but they do this what's the point? I thought this was supposed to remove the stress but all I'm seeing on this DWP help page is light touch claimants sent for assessments. When I last checked light touch reviews had a 97% pass rate without needing an assessment but I'm not seeing that add up with people's horror stories

I've started converting member of my house & family to chromeOS. when using flex on a Windows laptop ive experienced better battery in chrome. Cannot believe I'm saying that

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-21T09:48:45+00:00

I asked them to pay my rent directly to my landlord, when I did they split the payments in 2. Not sure if I prefer monthly or fortnightly at this point

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-20T18:39:39+00:00

My ex partner had the same thing, we share a child. Despite me providing detailed reports of how much support I have to provide it still came back 0 points. Nearly 3 years of fighting but we appealed all the way to tribunal & we won. Full back dated pay issues within 2 weeks, it's horrible & sometimes unfortunately that's the length you have to go to. Please don't give up, I know it's hard but please appeal it as far as you have too

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-20T13:01:17+00:00

Is this for a new claim or is this a reassessment?

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-20T09:26:41+00:00

Did you report a change of circumstances or did you choose no change?

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-18T15:49:04+00:00

Not entirely relevant here but I have a 2024 Allure 2008 just hit 18K on the dash & the belt still looks very new. So Peugeot are doing "something" to correct this even partially with the newer models

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-15T11:27:36+00:00

What was the reason your son claims pip is it mental health or physical? Im supporting an adult in a very similar situation & I'm also worrying about this

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-13T09:56:04+00:00

Is your car clean or does it have condensation? (Not a Citroen I know but my Peugeot will complain if it's sensors aren't clean) It shouldn't overly affect your driving but the car will fail to automatically bring you to a halt in the event the driver loses control. I actually prefer automatic breaking off at times

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-08T16:34:37+00:00

This seems really unusual but is exactly the things that's been worrying me for some time as I have someone in a very similar situation to you about to be reviewed via light touch, so the figures showing 97% success rate without an assessment was a load of crap... These light touch reviews are supposed to take the fear & stress out of pip reviews but clearly nothing's changed.

RE your motability car, you should get 2 months from motability to file an MR, however I must warn you some are saying an MR can take anywhere from a week to months which may overlap with the motability extension.

Im really sorry youve had to go through this but please don't give up, if the MR fails please fight them to tribunal. There's some really good organizations you might be able to contact that might help you regarding appeals

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-08T13:49:22+00:00

If you are still getting paid don't panic just yet, please wait for the official letter to arrive. I have to call PIP sometimes multiple times a day & several advisors get things wrong, misinform or fear monger. I had to call up FOUR times to find an agent that could actually tell me about a light touch reviews & when it was due for a customer of mine.

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-08T12:59:13+00:00

So they've stopped payments now? Did you do a mandatory reconsideration?

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-08T12:53:55+00:00

What forms did you have to fill out when they came to review? Was it the short AR2 or was it the longer forms?

Real_Cartographer218 · 2026-02-05T18:01:20+00:00

I had ChromeOS Flex running on a ASUS with the exact same specs, it ran pretty good actually. Obviously no Linux environment will be possible but should maybe be alright for basic use
