1983 Peugeot 505 GRD review from Norway
"Durable workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water-pump at 270000 km
Exhaust pipes rusted at 300000 km
Oil, filters etc.
General comments?
A dream to drive, handles like a Benz.
Extremely durable.
A typical 80 s car, but not too bad.
Very typical French engineering, they're a bit exentric.
