TG Have you changed the fuel filter lately, that's where i'd start,
I wouldn't use any of that blended shite, most diesel engines are designed for Class 2
diesel and not that other stuff (who knows what they're putting in it  :-\ )..in fact in reading over this thread I'd go as far as to say that where you're all buying you fuel is the root cause of most driveability issues with diesel cars on this thread.

Not so much my problem but has anyone noticed 206s having their break lights constantly on at night? Can be quite poison to drive behind, have noticed it a few times.

What that man says, when was the last time you changed the fuel filter? Have a diesel as well and it was giving jip when starting, the revs would die why I applied the gas but when I released and applied the gas again it would take off grand. Got the fuel filter changed and its been grand since...

Right. A couple of days ago I reversed slowly and during the first 3-4 seconds it felt like I was driving over something at the front left wheel. Since then there's a loud rattling noise from that front left of the car when I drive, loudly on bumpier roads and mostly when in a relatively straight line. I have driven a couple of days with it since. Any thoughts?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Check your tyres. Sounds like there may be a bulge in one. You will notice it rocky at slow speed, then when you go quicker it makes noise. Otherwise, if your alignment is out (could be caused by mounting a kerb/hitting a pothole) it could cause something similar

You maybe drove over Olly.

As previously documented on this thread my car has been cutting out and to date I have spent about 800 trying to get it fixed, to no avail. It is a danger on the road. Does anyone know if it could be written off by insurance? I have only heard of people claiming off insurance when the damage
their car but surely this is no different as the car is not roadworthy.

Sounds like a new drive shaft is required....   expect to pay ~£150 - 200
