1993 Peugeot 405 GLDT Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Great pleasant drive, just keeps going!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake servo failed at 285,000 miles.
Glow plugs replaced this year.
Central locking/Alarm recently packed in.
N/S front wheel bearing failed at 297,000 miles.
General comments?
This has been an excellent workhorse, and considering the mileage is in amazing condition. As said in a previous review, if you service these cars regularly they last for ever and are very easy to work on.
This still pulls very well and I carry a large amount of weight in it regularly. Recently been to a Peugeot after-market specialist for the timing belt replacement, and he said it's one of the best he's driven!
If you want a cheap workhorse that's nice to drive with more than enough grunt, you won't go wrong with one of these. Also the loading space is slightly better than the 406 Estate, which is why I still have the 405!
