1993 Peugeot 405 GRDT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights popped simultaneously, bit suspicious if you ask me, but still OK.
Internal bulbs have blown, rev counter can have a mind of its own occasionally.
Mechanically though, still absolutely sound. 111K and still happy.
General comments?
Don't race the git in the XR2 from standstill, race him from 50-100 in 5th. Phenomenal cruising pick up, absolute dream on the motorway. Hills don't exist.
GR is really nicely speced as well, and as it's a diesel no one wants to nick it. Except taxi drivers (allegedly).
