Hi all,my other half has a expert eurocab 2hdi 59 plate,the problem is its doing about 8000miles to a set of tyres!,the vehicle has been owned fron new and never had any bumps,the thing is the wheelbase isnt the same on both sides of the vehicle,its about 1.5cm shorter on the passenger side also had the geometry checked and its way out ! and not adjustable!!,its still under peugeot warranty they say its tyre pressurs but these are correct,also it pulls to the n/s quite badly and has done from new,peugeot says ther is nothing wrong with it and just keep fobbing her off,are we the only ones to have these problems with this heap of shit or is it a common problem and any ideas what can be done about it?,cheers Paul m3vuv.

You say "its about 1.5cm shorter on the passenger side " I would get it professionally check out, it may of had a crash when it was brand new new, of fallen from a transporter, the law states that they can sell it BUT they have to tell you

friend bought a ford fiesta which wore out tyres at an alarming rate
we told them to get it on alignment jig it was out same as yours
they took the alignment notes to ford and made a stink after a bit of hoohah ford gave them another vehicle
if it pulls to one side it is not fit for purpose
go peugeot and make stink
at our previous place we were opposite a car delivery firm they were always damaging vehicles
if you are in uk threaten to go to trading standards
