1985 Peugeot 205 GRD review from UK and Ireland
"Ideal cheap and cheer-full car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few small electrical problems.
The glow plugs needed replacing.
The front brakes needed replacing after I brought it as the left side pad had seized up and got totally worn away.
General comments?
The car has been fantastic since I only paid £400 for it.
It's quite fast, has plenty of power and the engine is fantastic. It starts first time and now messing about with the choke in winter.
It's an ideal cheap car.
