A list of parts and faults my 205's had in the last two years (20,000)! and before you ask, I am not a nutter!
2 engines.
3 gear boxes.
3 sets of CV joints.
1 diff.
2 sets of drive shafts.
1 carb.
2 ball joints.
2 brake cylinders.
1 entire ignition system.
The coachwork is in really good nick, and the interior looks young.
Gets through tires quick if used properly!
This car is quick, 89 BHP from a 1400 engine makes it one of the highest standard 1400 engines of its day.
Insurance is cheap, and economy better than the 1.6.
Only 1/10 of a second slower 0-60 than the 1.6 GTi.
How can you get thru' 3 sets of CV joints and 2 sets of driveshafts when the CV joints are fixed to the driveshafts and can't be replaced separately?
Nope - CV joints can be replaced without driveshafts on all 205s!
