1990 Peugeot 405 GL review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap 'n' cheerful form of mobility"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central Locking had fault which meant the car would unlock its self.
Noisy Diesel engine bad at speed
Chronic oil leak
Water pump replaced at 78,000
Timing belt tensioner pulley badly worn and replaced at 78,000.
General comments?
Typical cheap, tatty Peugeot workman ship, a slight improvement on the smaller vehicles in the Peugeot range i. e the 205.
Good fuel economy... but it was a Diesel!
Good size car, mine was the estate model, plenty of room for all passengers, loads of boot space.
