1993 Peugeot 205 GRDT review from UK and Ireland

"A Performance Diesel!! - and holds its price like bullion"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Not yet, although the injectors were sent to Diesco for reconditioning. A few other bits will be need replacing, the clutch for example, is massivley heavy, to the extent of having to use your whole leg to press the pedal down. (very wrong here), clutch kit being about £48+vat..

Time to change it being more of an issue..

I've put on the 1.6GTi pepper pot alloys, that were on my original 205 GRD, I had bought them from a large scrappy in hamps, for £80 for 5, with almost new tires. :)

General comments?

Looking forward to the performance, after comming from a 205 GRD, and then a new 106 1.5 Diesel..

I am currently attempting to remove a 405 TDi manifold to use the 405's inter-cooler, and then also increasing the boost pressure, hopfully this will give around 90hp at most.. in car that weighs in a around 850-900kg, it should be very nippy indeed. Looking forward to pitching it against the 'boy racers' in their Nova SRs and Fiesta XRs.

Better than 50mpg..and even more if you fit an inter-cooler..

With a max speed of 105mph and 0-60 in 12s from the factory, with increased boost and the application of the intercooler will possibly increase capability to 110mph+ and 0-60 in less than 10s :) all in a 1.7 diesel!!

Get one while you can..
