1989 Peugeot 405 Mi16 review from UK and Ireland
"Handsome, fast, sharp, comfy, and unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both rear brake calipers failed and are expensive.
1 universal joint bellow failed.
2 years of computer problems, nobody can properly diagnose it or fix, very time consuming and expensive.
Maybe something to do with rain not flowing properly out of the Ecu chamber which is right next to the windscreen.
The wires that feed the horn failed and needed to be replaced, very time consuming.
General comments?
Handsome car with very good and sharp handling.
Soft pliable ride, amazing for such a sporty setup, only the French can do this.
Thirsty even if you drive slowly.
Noisy interior trim, and parts will break over time.
