1984 Peugeot 305 GL Estate 1.5
Summary:
Reliable, light and good at offroad
Faults:
Brake caliper.
Brake amplifier (although it wasn't defective).
Dynamo/generator.
Fan/dynamo belt snaps every 8 years.
Some rust; the car was spray painted in 1996 and in 2014.
General Comments:
Excellent, in fact if there were no shortage of parts and a 200 HP version of the 305, I would buy another one.
The car has been in the family since 1984, and I got the key in 1995.
I'm considering upgrading the engine, since the clutch spins sometimes and the engine could have some more HP.
In the 32 years it has run out of fuel 2 times, and I had to do a rolling start when the dynamo quit. Never been towed or been put on a lorry.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
