Nothing too serious; in fact just general wear and tear.
Both front wheel bearings.
New radiator at 120000 miles.
New alternator at 150000 miles.
Three sets of brake disks over the years.
Rear subframe mounting bushes.
A wonderful little car. Had it from new and it's never let me down.
Will cruise happily all day at 85 (where allowed ;-) )
The fuel consumption never drops below 55 mpg.
Supremely comfortable ride, even on dodgy roads.
My 205 1560 cc auto is great, J reg,19000 miles from new, zero rust, but, it drinks petrol like a Jag, and will not go in to fourth gear under 46 m.p.h.,I am looking for an L.P.G. conversion company in or near London.,after all, its half the price of petrol, in the mean time, I will fit treble point spark plugs and fuel economy high silicone "Continental" tires, not to mention pumping the tires to the max of 44 p.s.i.,for good m.p.g.,I check the pressure every week,...another good point on the 205 is strong bumpers, all you get from a low speed shunt is a scuff mark, a Ford bumper shatters like glass, take a look at Mondeos.P.S.,don't you just love it when Americans you meet on the net complain about petrol at 1.20 $ a gallon? (that's 60p) :)...comments?
Totally agree! Someone knocked my Mondeo in a car-park... new bumper required. I didn't mind, as I saw them do it, so there was no getting away with it, but still... £100 for parts and labour to them!
I read different things about auto 205's drinking habits. Mine was always pretty good... but others moan about the mid 20s. Strange. I guess it's all down to how to drive it / condition of the car.
