    I have just bought my first car and am learning how to drive and maintain the car at the same time so excuse me if I sound a bit simple.
    The display for the radio/clock in the car has just stopped working. The car is Peugeot 206 1.4 GLX model with a 2000 reg. I have googled the problem and the info I got seems to suggest the bulbs being the display are blown. There are four of them as I have managed to remove the center panel. Does anyone know what the bulbs are called and where I could find them?
    I am missing the cover for my right hand side wing mirror which I would like to replace. Any idea where I might get a spare. It looks like it would just clip on.
    Finally, I only received one key with the car. It is an electronic key but I would like to get a spare. Any idea about getting a spare without referring to Peugeot themselves as I have heard they are expensive.
    All suggestions welcome

    I would try Halfords in Blanchardson town or the Malahide road for the lights first of all. The wing mirror and flap you will probably need to go to a Peugeot Dealer.

    The other suggestion would be to try e-bay for lights, part for your wing mirror.

    The main dealer may be bit expenive so you may be able to pick up the cover at a car dismantlers like Duffy Bros on the Naas Road.

    The key will be expensive. You will have to bring it to the Peugeot dealer along with the VIN as well i think. Could be about €150. If no one else is using the car would just get a non-chip key cut in a key-cutter for bout €10. It wont start the car but will open the doors in case you lock your keys in.

    Good luck with learning to drive buddy
