Our cars: Peugeot 508 SW - February 2012

Peugeot 508 SW 2.2 HDi 204 GT

Week ending February 3
Mileage: 15,676
Driven this week: 538 miles

I’m now just 4500 miles from the 508’s first service and in the past few days a low-oil warning alert has appeared a couple of times. I’ll be adding a litre tomorrow, but given the high number of motorway miles the car has completed (probably two-thirds of the total mileage to date), this doesn’t seem at all unreasonable.

I’ve also been contacted by an owner this week, who may have had more luck finding winter tyres than I did. I will be using a pair of Spikes-Spiders instead on my trip to Austria, which combine chains and studs in one. They certainly look impressive and I’ll report back on their effectiveness on my return.
