forbeslongden Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Peugeot 205 in Cherry Red, this is a 1995 model on an N plate, I saved this car from being scrapped after having what looked like the worst rear axle I've ever seen, I replaced this along with the rear brake cylinders. It had been sat since 2015/16 and as such has been widely neglected, I've found from looking around the car that the wipers will need freeing up as they won't activate from the stalk (they try at least) The gearbox is fine in 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse, 2nd and 4th gear bounce out though - unsure on this one, if you've got a gearbox laying about, I'd recommend either fitting that or tinkering with the selector and linkages perhaps, ideally wants the balljoints and/or track rod ends renewing too as it shudders through the steering (I'm sure there was advisories about this last time it was MOT'd) , a shame since the engine runs nicely with only 46,000 odd miles on the clock, of course would need a bloody good service before going back on the road, cobwebs and all. The bodyshell is really tidy - under the back seats and bootfloor are fantastic, one of the best I've seen, the front inner wings have a little surface rust as most 205's do now, above the windscreen is great too. The car has central locking and electric front windows and the paint isn't that bad really, . It'll tidy up into a nice runabout for someone, I'd get a load more for it by breaking the thing up, but I can't really face it since it is that clean.

binhoker668 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Correct steering wheel too! forbeslongden 1
wuvvum Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Being a 1.1 pez, the ball joints / track control arms should be dirt cheap to replace, unlike my old 1.8 TD which had the GTI-style setup at the front. forbeslongden 1
reb Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Being a 1.1 pez, the ball joints / track control arms should be dirt cheap to replace, unlike my old 1.8 TD which had the GTI-style setup at the front.Can confirm, dirt cheap, having done both sides of mine at least twice. I'm quite tempted, but I have less than no need for another 205 and it may help with my plans for mine but it'd die in the process and that'd be quite sad.

forbeslongden Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Someone wants the doors off it, I'm reluctant to break it up but may be the way in the end. Anyone with 200 quid want to take it?
