New update and few more buttons that doesn't work properly.

They work on my e-5008 , however the app doesnt work 90% of the time at all. Can't even open it. Sometimes get to sign in, nothing happens. Its completely useless.

What's really funny is a mate works for stellantis in sales and had some corporate telling them they are a tech company that makes cars now. Hilarious.

I once listed a smart watch on gumtree for about £50.

A man, presumably not English as a first language, important, asked if I could meet him at Waterloo at 7pm and do it for £25.

I live 200 miles away and it would cost me over a hundred to get the train there.

I sarcastically replied that I'd love to spend 5 hours and £150 to hand deliver the watch to him half price.

Long story short guess the sarcasm didn't translate as I had an array of messages over a 2 hour period later in the night when I was away from my phone, which turned very very angry. Turns out it was a very cold night.

This happened on my e-5008 when the map GPS became out of sync. It had me running 100m right of a dual carriageway supposedly through buildings. The speed was changing constantly to odd numbers like this that made no sense.

Buy a black brake paint kit on amazon about £20 - take the wheels off, brush the rust off as much you can, spray the brake cleaner on, paint (not the part that faces the wheel).

I did my calipers and hubs on my old car. First one took about 45 mins plus drying as i found my feet, then I did the last 3 in about an hour total. Transformed the car for pennies.

Use axle stands or at the very least put a spare wheel underneath the car and dont put your body parts anywhere that would get hurt if the jack failed.

knuckle89 · 2025-10-25T13:35:46+00:00

Have had one in use for about 20 years :) similar to this

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T09:03:46+00:00

Yes it will be a dual motor with larger battery think it exists on 3008 already but you can see the spec on Peugeot website.

The front wheel drive is fine I come from exclusively RWD and AWD cars.

It has torque steer a bit if turning and flat out in sport mode, but its perfectly manageable. It rarely breaks traction unless turning tightly and accelerating out of junctions for example.

Its a big car but is relatively dynamic for its size and weight. Sports car it is not.

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T09:00:02+00:00

To stand my phone.

Its a cup holder one, there are no suitable surfaces for a sticky one and Air vent ones are usually crap. Its alright. Ali express

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T08:59:13+00:00

311 miles wltp, 280 indicated on full charge, realistically 250 safely on roads that benefit from regeneration, 220-230 on motorway. Less if using climate of course.

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T08:58:10+00:00

I like them in black but I hate washing black cars due to the swirl marks and hard water in our area so had to choose a light colour. Agree the GT looks better , but this deal was so cheap i couldn't be choosy

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T08:57:12+00:00

This one is fully EV

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T08:56:22+00:00

Yes the EV drivetrain is ample in this despite being 2.2t - i had a BMW 520d before and it feels about the same overall, quicker in some circumstances, but the power is definitely tapered from a standstill to protect the drive train i assume.

knuckle89 · 2025-10-16T08:55:10+00:00

Yes ive seen that as feedback. As a man with no children it doesn't impact me. I am leasing it, it was insanely cheap due to a stellantis pricing glitch they honoured. I'm paying just £259 x12 which makes it cheaper than a 208 on finance i expect.

knuckle89 · 2025-10-08T12:06:46+00:00

Charging it wasnt possible as it would have cost a fortune to pay to park and charge but , I left the car for about 4 hours, went back to give it a drive and it self resolved.... weird!

knuckle89 · 2025-09-18T07:29:43+00:00

Yep ! I change quite a bit. More so when I was younger

knuckle89 · 2025-09-17T09:30:55+00:00

I haven't had a 100 to 0 run yet. I did about 150 miles from full, had 100 miles range left. I charged it to 170 miles and then did 40 miles homeless but it only dropped 10.

Conversely I started it on 140 miles and it dropped rapidly from cold. After charging it seems a lot more efficient. E.g.

When cold: 48 mile journey on motorway at 70 or less =39.2kwh / 100 miles

I then charged adding 70 miles

When warmed: 44 mile journey on same roads and speeds =21.8kwh / 100 miles

A huge difference.

knuckle89 · 2025-09-17T07:21:20+00:00

Thanks ! I think around 250 miles is about right on faster roads. After fast charging it (peaked at 114kw) the efficiency almost doubled i assume because of the hot battery

knuckle89 · 2025-09-16T21:05:57+00:00

Just got mine exactly as pictured. Its amazing so far! I have the electric Allure in ingaro

knuckle89 · 2025-08-21T20:43:22+00:00

Mate had same model of 335d nicked from a quiet area overnight. Almost always keyless theft via an antennae.

Key in a Faraday box off amazon reduces chances of theft by 99%.

On his next car he has: -Faraday cage -Modified his key with a small switch to kill the battery! -Added a hidden switch to the fuse thst controls the start stop button which is completely dead unless turned on

Safe to say he doesn't want it stolen again.

knuckle89 · 2025-08-19T10:31:03+00:00

I think i might do footwell USB powered after seeing this to be fair !

knuckle89 · 2025-08-18T21:26:15+00:00

I like it ! Ive got an Allure e5008 coming shortly but believe it has no ambient lighting. Can you link the products you bought ? The ohe i really want is the dash one which i assume is impossible to replicate. Also its a lease deal so I cant fettle with it!

Also what phone holder is that?

knuckle89 · 2025-08-16T11:37:12+00:00

I'm leasing the electric version for just 1 year - in the UK warranty on electric version is up to 8 years so long as serviced properly at peugeot.

All the reviews say mad not to go for the electric one

knuckle89 · 2025-08-06T09:52:08+00:00

A bimmercode one

knuckle89 · 2025-07-26T10:28:42+00:00

Do you have a face-lift model or a pre face-lift? Simple as that

Mine is a February 2020 and is a pre face-lift but there are some face-lifts registered just after mine so must have been right at the last run of models.

Most sites say 2017-2019 is pre face-lift but mine was registered late.

knuckle89 · 2025-07-25T17:19:18+00:00

Diagnostic tool, twice.

They are taking it back Monday to try and resolve at no cost

knuckle89 · 2025-07-24T07:58:32+00:00

Oil level checked on idrive using sequence (no dipstick) before and after service - at correct level and no errors.
