Thanks for that!.. In my case it stayed on for most of the morning,
through several engine restarts. It disappeared in the early
afternoon and I have never seen it since.

Well the car is currently in the garage, having this looked at as well
as the radio on/off button fixed and its first MOT. I've just been
told it has failed the MOT, dur to worn front suspension ball joints,
which they will replace under the warranty. So that is what was
causing the "clonking"

After 28,000 miles only, that is ridiculous!!!

Not really. It depends how you drive the car as to how long 'bits' will
last.

Perhaps, but I have been pretty gentle with it. If you aren't with a
407, it drinks fuel.

The only problem is that around here we have a plague of speed bumps.
I don't think I have ever been over a speed bump at anything like the
speed limit.

So I'm not sure who I should be blaming, Peugeot or my local
authority.
