Sorry cant help ,but would suggest you contact Peugeot direct for advice .Sure they must have a technical section like other franchises I've been involved with where you could get help on odd ball problems .You would have thought that the dealership in Widnes would have contacted the factory themselves to get an answer .I know I would have chased it up for a solution even just for my own satisfaction .

Unfortunately, this sounds just like my 207's problem (my little monster is a 2007 (57 plate) and had 55,000 miles on the trip. It turned out that the solenoids in the gearbox were at fault, and it needed new solenoids and a software update.
Worst case scenario (and no - *not* scaremongering - this came straight from the Peuegot main dealer in Leamington Spa where my car got sorted) is a new / recon gearbox.
It cost me just shy of £700 to get sorted, as this is considered a major repair (takes 4hrs plus to do) and the dealer had to order the parts in for me.
Once it was done, then I had to treat the car gently for the first 500 miles after the repair, and then start to drive normally. This is because the gearbox needs to "re-learn" your driving style.
Hope this helps out.
