1993 Peugeot 205 XAD GL review from UK and Ireland
"A load of crap, fit for the scrappers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything!
New wheel bearings every 20k
New CV boot
New glo plugs.
General comments?
Having spent £110 on a wheel bearing, I took one look at her and thought forget it, I ain't spending anything else on it, and I ran it into the ground!
The drive shaft eventually started to fail, which was my final alert, and I bought a new car. My 205 fell to bits with the exhaust falling off on its last few days!
I eventually had it scrapped for £30, and that was that!
It's a shed!
It wouldn't go any faster than 65mph, as it's like a block of cheese!
