Perhaps I should have mentioned that it's petrol and 36,000 mileage.

i have the same problem with my clio.
I found it was the air intake pipes were bloked and therefore made it hold back when pulling off, get those checked out, if not then it could be the fuel pump malfuctioning.
Hope you get it fixed

My Y reg 1.4 Peugeot 206 seems to be pretty good on the acceleration front. As someone else has said, it isn't going to set any land speed records, but it does hold its own. I would get it checked out by a garage.

Take off? It's a car not a plane. lol.
Seriously though, a 1.4 peugeot isn't going to break any land speed records, I'd say it's perfectly normal.

If its a high milage then it sounds like its down on torque.
This is a sign of engine wear and not much you can do to improve it at a reasonable cost.
However, might be worth getting the throttle cables, filters and carb/injection checked as we head towards winter.
same thing happened to my SAAB around 275,000 miles. Sublte change. Rubbish eh ?
Its still going though.

If this is the 206 1.4 HDI diesel then it is normal, its called turbo lag and I suspect that once it gets going its fine, just froma standstill, and worse at roundabouts?
There isnt much you can do about it

for some reason every pug i have looked at have a slack throtle cable. pull the clip out at the carb/pump and pull the cable throu untill just before the revs start to get higher. do this when the car is warmed up.

There might be something wrong with the clutch if it is second hand. Might be worn out.
