I own a 52 plate Peugeot 307 2.0 HdI
I went to start it this morning and it went beserk!At first it wouldnt start,but when it did the wipers and radio kept going off and on and the fuel gauge was reading empty(I put £50 in last night).There was a ticking sound coming from the glove box,which is where the fuse box is on the 307.Then the display was telling me to the engine coolant level was low.I checked that and it was full so I put a drop of water in for good measure.
I managed to drive to my mates who is better with cars than me and he managed to get all the instruments working ok,but now the car wont lock,manually or with the key fob.
Last July I had a similar problem with the car,but that time it just wouldnt start at all.The engine had imobilised.I took it to Peugeot and they fixed it,saying it was water seeping into the fuse box from an alarm wiring which had been fitted and had blown the whole fuse box.It cost me almost £600 to have a new fuse box and to have the computer reset.
Could it be the same thing again?If it is do I have any chance of getting them 2 fix it for free as its not even 12 months since it happened before.
