jord294 92 Posted May 2, 2008 If i return some parts to peugeot as they werent needed will they give a full refund? i don't think so. not if they were specially ordered in depends how well you get on with your local dealer. what you returning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted May 2, 2008 I think it depends on the dealer, and if they were special order parts. My local dealer has a policy of charging a 20% re-stocking fee, although I've never needed to return anything yet. What is the item in question, I'd have thought that unless it is something SERIOUSLY obscure then you'd find a home for it with somebody on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaffyTim 6 Posted May 2, 2008 Its for 2 callipers from the 307 as my nipples didnt sheer off. Ive put an advert on here but no takers as yet. Im happy to keep them as spares as im sure ill need them at some point, but im also happy to have another £125 sitting in my bank account. I was going to keep them as spares but someone said that the dealer would take them back?? I was doubtful of this hence the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted May 2, 2008 i was always told by my dealer that if they have to order a part in then theres no refund but if its a stock item then they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I'd have thought a brake caliper would be a stock item, specially for a new model like the 307. Special order items are ones that they don't keep in stock and so won't refund you. But only a few things are special order and mostly obscure parts for old models. It's worth a try though, the worst they can do is say no. Edited May 2, 2008 by Cameron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 92 Posted May 3, 2008 are the 307 calipers supposed to be an upgrade for the o/e 1.9 calipers? would they use bigger discs? do they bolt straight on to o/e 1.9 hub? would i need extended flex brake pipe if i was to fit them? any pics please? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rom 0 Posted May 3, 2008 There are 2 versions of 307 HDI brakes i think. 266mm and 283mm (i might be a few mm out ) Both use 54mm pistons. I bought mine with carriers also, as i dont think they bolt onto 1.9 carriers. Ive got a braided hose set, for the 1.9, and when i upgraded they fitted fine. Theres loads of info on here about the swap. And MCs aswell, as you will have longer pedal travel if you keep the standard one. As for stock parts etc. My dealer wont take back special order items. He said they cant send them back unless its over £100, and even then it was 20% handling charge. Id be extremely surprised if any dealers kept stuff like calipers in stock. I work for Toyota, and we dont even keep discs and pads for every car. Which i think is crap, but its all to do with how much value in stock the branch is allowed to hold etc. They will sell..if you have the patience, sometimes theres loads of people selling brakes or after them, sometimes theres none Grab the part numbers, to see what size discs they use.

Phil H 16 Posted May 3, 2008 From my experience, they will take back stock items like oil filters, but anything else they won't. It's all about minimising the stockholding. Stock on the shelf is money tied up in the business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaffyTim 6 Posted May 5, 2008 Yep its the 283mm discs that are used with these. heresa link to my add: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...mp;#entry811851 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Discs are fairly easy and cheap to get hold of, look for ones from a 307 HDi. They'll bolt on with the same bolts and hoses and fit under 1.9 alloys nice and tightly; they look great p.s. there's a guide on the website Edited May 6, 2008 by Foltan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
