1995 Peugeot 405 GTX from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Not worth 20k new. Otherwise the dogs nuts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Intermittent bulbs fail (Peugeot trait - to keep you on your toes).

Suspension noises no-one else can detect (located as outriggers - common fault).

Appaling dealer servicing - Cliffords.

Auto box - heavy and wears the inside front tyres.

Rear tyre security bolts seized - replaced and kept greased.

Possible head gasket oil leak (possibly done by the dealer to cough up more money?)

Intermittent starting problems - probably the battery although the dealer wants the customer to buy a £250 piece of plastic.

General comments?

The auto box and cruise control are ace for the speed cameras, set and cruise at 40mph etc... annoys other drivers though.

I have a 1992 Peugeot 405 1.9 GTX model. I've been having problems when I put it in drive, it revs high and doesn't go anywhere, but when I put it into 1st it drives up the box, but won't go in 1st. Do you have any idea what that is?

If so e-mail me at darrenkhl18@yahoo.com, it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Darren..
