1987 Peugeot 305 GRD Break review from Netherlands
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As this used to be a service car (screwdrivers in the back pocket). I immediately replaced the seats, one I had made special for me (NICE SEAT) and the other one came out of a 309.
Clutch replaced at 190000.
Rubber hoses replaced at 211000.
Brake vacuum pump replaced at 243000, came out of a 405 D (I love this engine).
Distribution replaced at 260000 (second time in the car's life).
All normal wear and tear as it seems.
General comments?
This car has become my friend, the type that never lets you down as long as you treat him/her right.
It runs like a train, and it steers like one too, fitted with Firestone 175/14/65 FST.
The engine is noisy, however, with some extra insulation in place, all is OK!
