1984 Peugeot 505 GTi review from Germany
"Comfortable driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leak.
Ignition wires.
Injection - ECU breakdown.
General comments?
It's a VERY comfortable and usually reliable car, BUT if something breaks down, some pieces are a bit hard to find (and PEUGEOT garages are not very amused if you arrive with a 505...)
