1995 Peugeot 205 style review from UK and Ireland
"Cracking car its like strongbow, undiscribable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a hand-me-down through my famile once it has blessed 1 person it moves to the next. (pug's vertion of "herby") So nothing much has went wrong with the car, my step brother is a plant fitter so he looked after it at his yard. The back drum piston has seesed a few times, but comes loose, will replace soon and the rear supention is well and truly fooked quite a bit of rust underneeth, but what do you expect from a old car!! (i have just painted much of it) since I have had it nothing much has happened apart from these idots stabbing my tire and wing mirror off!!!
General comments?
I have just passed my test and this car even though only 1100cc's of power is like a rocket not much weight to pull I car just about lift the back end right off the ground and I am a big lad. the only thing I hate about this car is the seats they are qutie crap, they move around a lot and the passenger seat dosent click back into place when pulled forward. (your driving along and your passenger (ie a burd) gets a frite because it just gose back into place hehehe) I have put central locking into it and a alarm and new speakers, the side trim on the doors? is SSOOOOO easy to take off a few star screws ad its all pops off. the drivers window can come down very easly so some 1 can come along and pull it down wen its is fully up, but the passenger window dosent. (if anyone knows how to fix this problem with out tgetting a new 1 or a sencond hand 1 contact me rozzer2000@hotmail.com) the clutch is a bit sevear, but can get used to. this car is very good to pull wheel spins. (here is some advice < when/if you get alloys for it just wheel spin every where its great fun!:D >hehehe) if you have a model that has trim along the back of the boot use trim wax brings it right out same with the bumpers in fact all of the trim door handles etc. the body work is imaculate no rust what so ever the wheel archies are spot less it has been well looked after before it came into the famile. thanks for reading its good to tell people how good this car is :D
If any 1 can tell me where there the RPM outlet is on their engine it would very good thanks (e-mail is above)
