Peugeot 405 diesel turbo estate

[RichardMoss]

My father in law has recently purchased a 405 diesel turbo estate with aircon etc which he describes as being in "fantastic" condition with an engine bay that "looks like a 4 year old car". I've asked him to send me loads of pictures, which I'll post up here.

 

Jammy bugger - I'd love that.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Doesn't sound like an unachievable goal

[MrDuke]

I assume re-lacquering the roof & bonnet will be on his list of jobs?

[Lacquer Peel]

SELL IT TO ME PLS

I think the Peugeot 405 TD was probably one of the last best diesels you could buy, buy a tidy, low mileage one and it would still probably out last a new diesel car.

[George-Roper]

Allways seem to be estates.

[RichardMoss]

I finally got him to send me some photos. He still forgot the engine bay one, though.

 

This is the worst bit on the car and given that the beastie cost less than than 12 months tax it looks like a bargain. It's a good job he bought it - his Xsara estate TD died this morning.

Forgot how cavernous the boot is on the estates. Or is it just the pic?

[Pillock]

That's pretty sweet!

[trigger]

That looks very nice, not sure sure about the number plate font though.

[mouseflakes]

Very smart.

Lovely! my much missed 405 GLXd turbo estate was the spit of that but on an 'N, and slightly less plush inside. (that looks like a top speccd one)

 

Loved the long travel supple suspension that made a meal of the speedhumps and crappy road surfaces of urban Britain. Modern manufacturers take note!

I really need to spend some time with a 405 to see if I could live with a BX with the eccentricity engineered out of it. On the plus side, you don't panic about green puddles, and you get an entire TWO windscreen wipers.

[RichardMoss]

I should imagine that David won't give a fart about the plate font (he certainly won't give a shit!).  It's a GTX TD and the aircon works!

[Mr Livered]

That looks very nice, not sure sure about the number plate font though.

The font and the silly European flag. But apart from that - lovely jubbly.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

What a cracker!!! WOULD

[drum]

Och aye the noo!

Nice.

[KruJoe]

It must be a good one - it has a full set of centre caps.

Deserves to be in the "Seriously Rare" thread.

Boot is bigger (or at least more usable) than the 406 estate. I had three (plus a saloon) and thought they were tops.

[explosive-cabbage]

How is the 20p/handbrake interface??

 

Nice motor otherwise

[CortinaDave]

That looks spotless! I'd love an immaculate old diesel shitter like that, he'll be quids in

[carlo]

Saxon Blue - rare and nice colour.  Wouldn't mind mine in that.

[Minimad5]

Rather nice that.
Need to sell the BX before buying any more cars.

[RichardMoss]

How is the 20p/handbrake interface??

You've lost me there, sorry.

[RichardMoss]

Well, due to the impending arrival of a newer car, this is up for sale. I'll get more details and post them up. Asking £600 - but open to haggling

[Jim Bell]

I'll have a haggle on that if its got a non Lucas pompe.

[Twiggy]

Looks delicious ! Where is it please ?

[carlo]

I refuse to believe that you've found another car, especially newer, that is better than a 405.

[RichardMoss]

It's my father in law's car, it's in North Yorkshire and (in my opinion) it's a better car than the Kia Soul diesel that will be replacing it

[RichardMoss]

The MOT runs to 24/4/2016 and it has a Bosch pump. The car is near Bedale, just south of Scotch Corner.
