1990 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots, distributor, front brakes (severe brake balance problem - MOT failure), handbrake cables (lots), central locking, fuel tank breather system, driveshafts (ouch).
General comments?
Apart from the expense paid out to fix above, car is still superb ! Very economical yet sprightly performance. Gearbox a delight, downside is it revs a lot on motorways (80mph - 4500revs in 5th). Only thing better is a 1.9 GTi ! Never broken down, 92K miles and gets better to drive with every mile! Shame about Pug dealerships - mine is serviced by a Peugeot trained mechanic (who has his own business) - dealerships have been rude, careless and expensive. Shame!
