    Group,

    I'm heaving the following problem with our 6½ year old peugeot 206 1.6 16v. Sometimes when driving
    it starts to stutter a little, usually at around 2500 - 3000 rpm, and mostly in the first 15 minutes
    after starting. Not everytime, and not continuously, but it is a litle annyoing sometimes. Yesterday
    evening the board computer indicator light came on, and today when slowing down for some traffic
    lights, the engine shut down all together. (but did start right away again) Luckily there was an
    official dealer just around the corner, and they looked into the computer, and that seemed to
    indicate a leaking head gasket, which another official dealer called a little "sweating" just a
    month ago during a relugar checkup. Before spending around ?800 for a replacement job, I would like
    to know if anybody here has had the same kind of experience?

    It could be something simple such as the rpm/crankshaft/tdc sensor
    failing - which often takes garages ages to diagnose (or so they
    claim and charge rediculous amounts).

    It's happened to me on a renault megane and fiat seicento.

    One of the symptoms might be difficulty starting in the mornings at
    seemingly random intervals.
