1993 Peugeot 405 Mi16 review from Australia and New Zealand
"An absolute bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam belt broke, previous owner may not have adhered to the scheduled servicing.
Peugeot recommend the belt to be changed every 80,000K, but I will be changing mine earlier, say every 60,000K.
Leak of brake fluid from the system. Being investigated. First check did not reveal any apparent leaks. To be further investigated at the next scheduled service.
General comments?
This car is an magnificent example of a high performance vehicle. It is extremely quick, handles like a dream and is very economical (approximately 10.5 litres per 100K in peak hour city driving).
The seats are very comfortable.
The car accommodates 5 adults.
