Faults:

Wiper relays not working when bought. £35 to replace

Cooling hose replaced for £20.

General Comments:

Apart from feeling like riding in blancmange road performance is surprisingly good, particularly as I bought this car for load lugging. It is a very good load lugger - 4 trips to France & 10k later, no problems.

Annoying squeaks - heater fan motor & plastic rub on steering wheel.

V comfortable on long trips.

Faults:

Brakes grinding.

Door locks and mechanisms replaced on both sides.

General Comments:

I find the Pug 405 a really nice car to drive. It's the first Pug I've owned.

I installed a Sony CD and head set up, where I found the wiring more than odd. Thankfully the Haynes manual for the 405 gave me a great hand.

The seats are fantastically comfy and I find the cabin layout OK, but not ideal.

The SRi model has just the right amount of goodies I like, ABS, PAS, Electric windows and 6 speaker setup.

The get up and go on this car has certainly not got up and gone. For a car over ten, it can still kick some!!!

Faults:

Slight oil leak after 3k - spring clip loose, £0.50 to replace.

Dashboard/heater control lights failed - tricky to replace.

Suspension can be very noisy on bumps, new bushes required.

General Comments:

This was my first car and I learned to drive in it, so it's had a pretty tough time during the year I've owned it.

I have the very basic Style model, which is seriously lacking in features. The lack of power steering is particularly annoying.

The engine copes with the weight of the car, not being very fast from standstill, but making up for it when it comes to cruising - take it out on some winding country roads and it will not leave them! Takes corners and roundabouts well at speed, brakes work well when needed...

While the Style may only have a heater, seat and an engine, the ride and handling are great. Comfortable on long journeys, good acceleration for overtaking the corsas/metros and the odd - rather surprised - BMW.

Early models squeak and rattle, engine can be prone to over running on switch-off.

Great car overall, very solid and reliable. Slight annoyances, but nothing major gone wrong with it.

Faults:

The clutch went just a few after acquiring the car, but luckily this was the dealers responsibility.

Power steering was knocking slightly on full turns.

ABS warning light illuminated after about 2-3 minutes of driving and remained on until the engine was switched off although no faults were reported on the ABS system itself, problem eventually faded.

General Comments:

This car has absolutely blistering performance once tuned, not that it really would need it.

I have a '92 model so I have all the usual refinements, leather sports seats, A/C, climate control. You name it, this car has it.

Handling is outstanding, especially at high speeds.

All round brake disc's will bring you to a prompt halt in no time at all.

There is certainly a lot of room both in the front and rear.
