Especially when the car is used for home-work Wed, 13 May 2009 09:30:25 GMT oliver yuen http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/peugeot-407/message/654 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/peugeot-407/message/654 Thanks Doug... Thats really good to know. I had a similar problem, my 2003 307Xse battery died after about 4.5 years.
