There are two to be found. It's dead easy.

"I never seem to have luck with my cars. Two years ago I bought a new Peugeot 306, thinking it would last years, be cheap to run and maintain. But I was wrong. The other day I started it up and had barely gone five miles when an ominous smoke started seeping from under the bonnet, followed by a loud bang. After being towed to a garage, I was told the engine had overheated causing a piston to expand and the engine to seize. This required an(expensive)engine rebore and rebuild with new parts. Rather than pay to have it fixed, I decided I'm going to search for a another car. Can anyone recommend something more reliable?"
