1990 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Nice, quick, cheap to run car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive shaft needed replacing.
HT leads and coil.
Rear wheel brake pistons.
Universal joint on the steering rack.
General comments?
This car is generally good and it does drive OK. BUT I have a feeling other things are going to go wrong and it's going to be expensive.
