1991 Peugeot 405 SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A fantastic, cheap to run car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV joint on the driver's side broke, only cost me £30 to fix with one from a scrap yard.
Heater fan has got a collapsed bearing, just need to get hold of a new one.
Sun roof has never worked, just waiting for better weather to fix this one.
General comments?
I absolutely love the way that this car drives and now that I have added 15" alloys to the car, it handles like a dream.
The seats are comfortable and supportive and nicely adjustable.
As you can see I don't really have any problems when the car breaks down as I am a engineer and do all my own servicing which makes it a cheap car to run.
Compared to other cars of this type, the 405 is cheap to insure as the SRi is only group 9 insurance, compare this to a Cavalier SRi which is a group 12, yet the 405 is faster.
