1978 Peugeot 504 GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"It does everything well, and nothing badly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt carby.
Front right wheel bearing.
Broke a window winder. Total cost about $250.
Only stopped running once, due to a break in a rubber fuel line. Repaired at the roadside in ten minutes. No other faults.
General comments?
This car is a something the other makers should aspire to make. If Peugeot made a 4x4 I would have bought it. My sister has had 2 Peugeots and had a very similiar experience to my own. What a fantastic (if odd-looking!) vehicle. Outstanding and recommended.
