1988 Peugeot 205 XLD review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start?.. I needed a new exhaust when I brought it.
I put a new radiator in it cos the other one exploded when I thrashed it too much, I was going about 90 (which I thought was quite slow). I've calmed down a bit now and have had no other problems. Except I'll need some new brake pads soon cos I had to stop suddenly to avoid a crash! My new radiator is beginning to leak as well, this must be a commom problem?
General comments?
It's quite nippy for diesel but in 5th it's very sluggish and therefore is annoying on long motorway journeys.
It's so comfortable I slept in it once.
It looks wicked but I can't be bothered modifying it.
