Can a Peugeot 207 go into gear with the engine off?
If it will go into gear relatively easily with the engine off, then chances are the gearbox isnt so bad. If it wont, then chances are it’s not so good. Engine running is a very different scenario as the clutch also plays a part. Engine on or off made no difference, gears were just as bad either way.
When did the Peugeot 207 SW clutch break down?
But I’m loathe to pay £700 to get a new clutch on a car with 50,000miles on the clock and which was serviced (by a non-Peugeot garage) 3 days before it broke down in September.
When did the gears in my car stop working?
In September I was driving to a derby game and the gears literally stopped working – I had to force it into each gear and eventually it would only go into neutral, no gears at all (although 3rd would work at a push). Got towed away, the garage greased the linkages and the car was fine again until last week when it happened again.
Is there a gearbox fault on a Peugeot 208?
After filling up I tried to restart the car and the warning sound chimed, and “Gearbox fault” appeared on the dash with the orange Service light lit. After a couple of tries it started up, still with the service light on. I pulled off and the 1st-2nd gear change was VERY slow and delayed (hitting 4000 RPM before it decided to change).

How many miles does an EHDI gearbox take?
I’ve got a 2012 1.4 eHDi automatic and it’s just hit 32,000 miles. I started up to go to work this morning with no problems and drove to the petrol station about 3 minutes from home.
