First of all, the TRW ABS system on the Peugeot 407 is notorious or so I read on the WWW. I apologise for sicking them with the thing but it was a no-brake situation. I sincerely apologised by settling my bill of £982.48 for cash-on-the-nail. It is not possible to bleed the air out of the system by normal means. Tivoli have left me with a very long-travel foot brake that i do not think would pass an MOT but they did find one or two interesting things: my brake fluid should be changed at two year intervals and i paid a main agent to do this. The offside front bleed-nipple could not be moved and was spanner-rounded and must have been for the eight years i have had the vehicle. the nearside rear brake hose was in a parlous state and could not pass fluid. I have been whinging at that Peugeot main-agent for some years about brakes. It did not seem to be heard. Tivoli have given full and frank answers but have not been able to make the braking system work to my liking. Strange though, the car has a lot more "get up and go" now. Perhaps those brakes had been rubbing and wasting energy? So, i had all four hoses done plus the master cylinder that seemed to have failed (the brakes had to be pumped): stopping was problematic. Now we can stop but the pedal goes near to the floor, worse than when it was in a good mood (mostly mornings). In a "bad mood" the effect was quite laxative. Tivoli are OK: Peugeot 407? difficult.

I booked a 2pm appointment to have my car checked for an engine emissions warning light which came on the previous day. Within 5 minutes of arriving the diagnostic test had been done and I was on my way. Incredibly fast and efficient service. Highly recommend them.

I have known the team at Tivoli now for a couple of years and am always impressed by their approach with customers. They are responsive, polite and knowledgeable. The team genuinely care about service experience and work hard to deliver great quality work for a fair price.
