1988 Peugeot 205 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Insanely fast for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad blue smoke, needed new piston rings and valve stems.
New head gasket and sump gasket required.
Two new tires needed.
New front disc's and pads.
New steering rack put in.
General comments?
I haven't even pushed the car hard yet, I've got to wait till the new components wear in a bit, however the car takes off from the blocks insanely quick.
Interior fairly bland, but functional.
Brakes seem a bit poor maybe.
Only cost 200, about 250 worth of parts so it was really a bargain.
