Peugeot Expert Tepee E7 2008
Here in Salford the E7 was popular until last Febuary when our main union man bought one. He has had nothing but trouble with his second-hand cab; E.C.U. flywheel and clutch, anti-roll bar etc. It has only done 8,000 since delivery. Cab-direct don’t want to know.

Peugeot Expert Tepee 2008
I have also bought this pile of junk from Cab Direct in Oct 2008 with my father, which had been converted onto an E7, and many, many of my problems with the car are listed on the other reviews. It is putting a huge strain on my relationship because I am unable to provide for my family. I notice quite a lot of people have spoken about action against Cab Direct/Peugeot and I’m wondering if anyone has been successful or if anyone here is currently making a claim as I would like to help, many thanks kevinogston@yahoo.co.uk

Peugeot Expert Tepee xs e7 2008
Hi, purchased this vehicle in Feb 09, last of the 58 plates new from cab direct. For six months all was well, very impressed! Then came the problems! Anti roll bars replaced, then the sliding near side door came away and popped out, cause was a sheared woodscrew that cab direct had started using to lock the sliding door back on the bottom track!! BEWARE. Problems with central locking next, unable to lock any doors rear wash/wipe not working. This problem took 9 WEEKS to rectify! and four visits to local Peugeot garage, three times locks replaced. And finally nearside drive shaft has gone, knocking and creaking! And because I service my cab every 10000 miles at local garage and they found that the near side cv boot had split at 20000 and replaced it with the correct part, Peugeot are not covering it by warranty! ALL THIS AND STILL NOT 40000 ON THE CLOCK!!!! what next? will not be getting another.

Peugeot Expert Tepee E7 XS LWB 2008
I am really sorry I parted with 54 plate E7. This is the worst vehicle I have ever experienced in my life. I have had the anti roll bar/bushes replaced twice, the drop link bushes, the front taxi sign blew because of water ingress, the front nearside door won’t open from the inside, the front offside window regulator has had to be replaced, the side steps have had five motors and six micro switches, the trim is falling apart because it is held together with self tapping screws, the ramp is knackered, the rear door opening sign was replaced because of water, and now the flywheel is knackered and Peugeot are back heeling it because they are unlawfully saying that after I bought the vehicle with a 100,000 mile warranty they have reduced the warranty on the clutch to 20,000 because they are paying too much out to replace the faulty clutches. This is illegal and I am taking it up with Consumer Direct. I also intend to write about this heap in the taxi trade press and hope that everyone who has had similar problems does like wise. Besides all of the above my E7 was recalled by VOSA because of a potential fire risk caused by the routing of the return fuel pipe. Unfortunatly because VOSA recalled the vehicles under their brand and model, i.e. Expert Teepee, Peugeot escaped the action meted out to LTi TX4s because VOSA were not aware that these firetraps were passenger carrying vehicles!

Peugeot Expert Tepee Taxi e7 2008
I’m using mine as a taxi.I have 21 years experience of driving taxis and have driven a million miles plus in my lifetime and I’m more than qualified to say this taxi is not the correct tool for the job. It’s like walking into B&Q and explaining to the sales person the task you need to do and instead of walking out with a hammer the guy sells you a saw! It’s not tough enough. I’m at 90000 miles now and the problems have moved on from" trivial" stuff like doors, brakes, anti roll bars, side steps, clutches, fly wheels, etc., to engine problems. I had a tx1 taxi which I put 450000 miles on. I would have to buy 3 e7s to do the same. The tx was built in 1997 the e7 in 08, you would have thought technology may have moved on? Do not buy this car. Although warranties look good they aren’t always what they seem, even in black and white! 80% of my passengers have trouble even shutting the door. very tiresome on a 12 hour shift! Also I have to travel from Edinburgh to Glasgow everytime there is a problem and wander round there 8 hours till fixed, just a nightmare!!

Peugeot Expert Tepee XS LWB 2008
Absolute rubbish. Poor MPG, build is a joke and the car has been in three times for knocking noises which has now resulted in a replacement of the anti roll bar, bushes, links, amongst other items. Also, the rear light has been replaced due to water seepage as well as door traps on 30k... This car was not built for a taxi and will be complaining to cab direct for selling us a poor car with practically no aftercare nor service. All E7 owners shoudl get togther and complain and as far as cab direct are concerned, I will never buy another car from them again.

Peugeot Expert Tepee 2008
08 plate Expert, taxi 43,000 miles and it’s had 2 new clutches, new front anti roll bar, new front seat (worn out from getting in and out of cab all day). But I found cab direct very good to deal with and so far my main dealer has been good as well. I still like the cab BUT PEUGEOT NEED TO PULL THERE ACT TOGETHER AND SORT OUT THE CLUTCH. And cab direct should be telling people thay will need to replace the clutch very 20,000miles. It’s being sold, unfit for purpose.

Peugeot Expert Tepee Taxi 2008
Hi, I have only had my taxi since December 08 with 17,000 miles only. The dealer replaced the fly wheel and clutch and within 18hrs it came adrift and wrecked the gearbox. It has taken 3 weeks for someone to take responsibility for it and I have not earned a penny in that time. Can you help me and point me in the right way to get compensation. Thank you; you can contact me at robson.derek AT sky.com

Peugeot Expert Tepee expert e7 2008
I have a new E7, bought in 2008. I have had many problems with the clutch. Peugeot replaced the clutch twice but I am still not satisfied, as the gear is still not running smoothly. I have had a problem with the anti roll bar brushes. I have no faith in Peugeot dealership to correct the ongoing problem. Peugeot Garages within my town have been very unhelpful. I have lost valuable time due to this problem. I have also found that a lot of my colleagues in Leicester with this vehicle have had the same problem and have had their clutches replaced twice in one year.

Peugeot Expert Tepee comfort l2 2008
I to am getting a lot of noise from the rear and when going over rough ground it sounds like the suspension is knocking on the front. Changing the headlight bulbs is an absolute nightmare when doing it for the first time, just not enough hand space. The side light was easy to get out but there is only room for 2 fingers to get the bulb back in. I managed to push the holder in to the light assembly - 20 minutes to get it out. I would like to be able to switch the seat belt warning alarm off. I have an issue with the single folding seat being on the drivers side because, as a taxi driver it means the rear passengers getting out on to the road. other than that a good car, spacious and comfortable (not as comfy as the 806 I have). I have recorded 31mpg doing local work and recorded 40mph to Southampton and back from Middlesbrough. It looks good and certainly catches the eye. I have the 8 seat model, although on the log book it’s a 9 seater. Peugeot tell me it will cost about 2k for the twin front seat. I have not had it serviced yet as it’s only been working since November and I have only covered 10k miles. Does anyone have the correct tracking setting for this car?

Peugeot Expert Tepee Leisure 1 2.0 HDi 8 seat 2008
7 days since we received the Tepee; fantastic, nice tight drive, superb space, good seats, suspension good, quite nippy after having a Chrysler Voyager. Far superior, this seems a great value vehicle with space and good drive.

Peugeot Expert Tepee 2.0HDI LEISURE 2008
We have had our Tepee for just over a week. It looks good, is nice to drive and most of all, I can get my 2 sons in plus my disabled daughter as it has been adapted as a wheelchair accessible vehicle. We are able to get everything we need in to it as it is nice and roomy and it certainly makes life a lot easier for our family!! We do have one snag with it though..... after a week of having it, the battery went flat and I had to call the AA out. Took it to our local Peugeot dealer who said they needed the whole car to see where the drain was but as we were on our way to take my daughter to the hospice for respite, and it started ok, we decided to not to leave it as. However, again, 3 days later, the damn battery was flat again and had to get my sister to jump-start it...not impressed!! Needless to say, it shall be going in to the dealer on Monday morning (tomorrow!).... fingers crossed that’ll be the only issue we have with our new car! Shame as we love it!
