1992 Peugeot 405 GLD review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and (almost) cheerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injection pump fell apart.
Leaking injector.
Rear washer failed.
Wash wipers intermittently stop working.
Lazy electric window on the passenger side.
Various electrical gremlins.
General comments?
The car is now mechanically reliable and with regular oil changes I would expect it to do another 100,000 miles.
The rest of the car is a catalogue of disaster with various bits of trim falling off and electrics that seem to have a mind of their own.
However, when it is running right it is smooth and quiet and costs next to nothing to run.
