1989 Peugeot 405 GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good opinion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater blew: major job to replace it so I by passed it.
Carb doesn't transit from summer to winer well: constant tune if fussy.
Front bumper too low for NZ conditions: kept ripping off: had to grind 50mm off the bottom of it.
General comments?
Enjoyable car: like owning something different like a Lada: only this doesn't break down: been round the country: both islands twice.
