1993 Peugeot 405 GLDT review from UK and Ireland
"A comfortable, reliable and enjoyable car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A new radiator was fitted at 125,000 due to a leak.
Two rear brake cylinders and the vacuum pump were replaced at 140,000.
The glow plugs failed at about 145,000 and were replaced.
There is a slight fault in the gearbox which sometimes allows you to go from 5th gear straight into reverse! However this only happens very rarely (has only happened a few times).
Everything else is still original. The engine is still as good as new.
General comments?
I am very happy with this car. The performance is good and economy is excellent (around 46 mpg).
The handling is impressive for such a big car and it's a very comfortable car to drive.
Overall it's been reliable, cheap to run and is an enjoyable car to drive.
