1989 Peugeot 505 GRD Family Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent big family workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reverse gear failed necessitating a replacement box.
Vacuum pump for brake servo failed.
Heater matrix valve failed.
Clutch pedal push-rod failed.
Engine seized after consuming oil.
General comments?
The car is excellent for a large family for which it was designed. I can take our 4 kids out with the wife, plus luggage and 2 of their friends can come too!
It looks and drives like a bus, but is big and comfortable.
