1991 Peugeot 205 Style review from UK and Ireland
"Very economical and maintainable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No significant failures over and above general faults associated with any car ie: minor electrical faults, leak-off lines failing, replacement exhausts, brakes, etc.
Door locking mechanism sometimes jams, but can be freed with WD40 with the trim removed.
General comments?
The drivers door needs rehung soon, but that might have something to do with the car approaching quarter of a million miles.
This car has its original clutch.
MPG drops beneath 60mpg only when the tyres need blowing up.
