Just sharing…
Drove to Krabi, Thailand for vacation over the weekend with my Pug 408T. Total mileage clocked was about 1300km, average FC was 7.6l/100km. Used cruise control most of the time while on the freeway.

QUOTE(wjchay @ Dec 17 2013, 08:29 AM) Hi SKYJack, Thanks for the heads-up, i called the advertiser but ts a gimmick. Reading carefully, the headline is for both turbo and premium griffe, so 117k is for turbo after discount etc. too good to be true  Since there's no discount for Griffe and we already have a turbo, therefore, we had book a 208 and save 30k instead  . 208 for my wife to drive in the jam. I didn't see any forum for 208 tho, any ideas? Hey hi So it was a advert gimmick la...hahaha. Ya it is too good to be true,especially since the 408Griffe was introduced just a couple of months back. I did see a 208 thread. Everyone is very pleased with the car. I think it's a great little car for the wife to potter around. I'll post the link should I come across it again.

QUOTE(neekun @ Dec 17 2013, 09:07 AM)  that's the one..overall I'm satisfied with it..the GPS is more like PAPAGO type which I've tested it & works like a charm..but for playing DVD, it won't show the movie when the car is moving (the screen will go blank & a safety message will come out)..you can only hear the sound..well, need to find a way to override that (for passengers la)..not me..

QUOTE(puppydogpoo @ Dec 17 2013, 11:24 AM) Hi  New owner of a dark blue 408 Turbo checking in! Bought my car at 5k mileage. Just got it last Sat. Still getting used to it but no questions a huge step up from my previous car  What price you got it at. Was it direct owner or dealer? Don't forget to get warranty transferred to you!

It was the test drive unit - 6 months old. I guess some members here have driven the car before  Bought for 100k excluding insurance and tinting. 5 years warranty on parts only. I signed the manual and warranty booklet, but the name written there is the dealership's name. The SA told me that that is all I need to do, for warranty to be transferred to me. Can anyone please share your knowledge on this? Thanks! This post has been edited by puppydogpoo: Dec 17 2013, 05:29 PM

My car headlight (right side) H7 bulb burned out for the second time.  Last change was on 1 Sep 2013, less than four months. Is there any advise with regards to this fast burned out? This post has been edited by Pugbunny: Dec 17 2013, 11:34 PM

Is there any advise with regards to this fast burned out? Probably by circuit board/cable or grounding cable problem. This cause unstable current flow rate. drive in to the SC to check it out.
