1996 Peugeot 405 GTX TD review from UK and Ireland
"Large family saloon that offers outstanding value and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 69,000 miles, this is very costly to repair.
Bulbs fail, intermittent fault on Peugeot.
Wish my car was known by Peugeot, no dealer has any record, yet car does appear to have many odd items.
General comments?
Very quick for a TD, fun to drive.
Very comfortable on long haul trips, seats hold up to lots of abuse.
Huge boot.
Cabin is much nicer that the pre face-lift model.
Great heater in winter and Air Conditioning is a great boost in summer.
High spec for car.
