1992 Peugeot 405 GTD Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Fierce cheap car to put on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof cables seized.
All electric windows seized.
Head gasket went.
Head warped.
Brakes failed.
Very bad lights.
Boot leaks water.
Back lights dodgy.
Back axle totally failed.
Rocky seat.
This was when I bought it.
So I bought a crashed 93 405 GRDT.
Put on back axle, engine, gearbox, wiring, interior, spotlights and lots of other bits.
General comments?
Fine car now, would handle any turn. Great car to accelerate and it's a plesure to drive. And I have lots of spares.
