Had a 405 diesel, loved it. Check the ball joints in the front as they can let go suddenly... ask me how I found that out! We had 2 xrad vans in work and they're as tough as old boots. Not many toys to play with but less to go wrong.

I used to own a 205 1.8D with 240,000 miles on the clock, still ran perfectly

I wouldn't say the 205 is particularly prone to rust, they were very well galvanized and both mine, and my dad's haven't got a spot of rust. 👌 Those clevis pins in the doors are always knackered on them, luckily only a couple of quid

Kudos on getting this car, LOVE the 205 and also the Diesel engine; truly well designed diesels can be terrific both in terms of longevity and use. A sorted diesel shouldn't even be that bad in terms of exhaust and when you see what many older petrol engines blast into the atmosphere, it is clear that the negative hyper-focus on all diesels is rather unfair.

My fave car ever - the 1.8d 205 inca - I had one for 5+ years; slow as a barge, but had the comfiest seats in the world, AND it gave me over 70mpg as well! And it had bags of character!

I bought my 205 diesel for £235, spent £600 on it and have been driving it for 4 years. It's been to 15 countries and is an everyday driver. It is my 4th in the last 20 years and I love the thing.

Oh man, I am with you! :D As for the tractor soundtrack - it's kind-of endearing! Looking forward to updates on this one! :)

Lovely Jubbly, my first new car in1992 was a J plate VW Polo hatch, worse car I ever bought for rust, the tailgate began to rust after 3 months, they never did fix it properly, so I went French.

I don’t get his claim that 205’s rust! Most of the sources I read before buying my (rust-free) 205 are really positive about the rustproofing. My 26-year old peugeot has next to no brown terror, except for a small spot on the right inner wing. I live in Holland, would that help its cause? Anyway, it’s nice to see simeone so enthausiastic about these french hatches!

You're right, they hardly ever rust. Other than the solid engines, everything else breaks but no rust! Fantastic cars.

Brings back some lovely memories of my L-reg 5 door Junior D (with an ultra high spec analogue clock missing on your dash!). Soon after I bought it after graduating I got a job in Austria and took her with me. The old Pugger chugger ate up the miles from Bucks to Tirol easily on a few trips back and forth. Certainly miss the direct handling and the honest torquey engine. Unfortunately a rust problem that had been shoddily treated by the previous owner eventually did for it, would take a solid if scruffy example on at good price in a heartbeat!

Greatly underrated old French cars, Citroen and Pugs my favourite. Berlingo mk1 s my favourite. Incredibly capable. No rust whatsoever, yes torsion bars are a pain, but while off can really rust proof everything there. Tinny and flimsy they are but tough as old boots. Try that age polo, corsa or fiesta will be junked

Hi, very nice video. One doesn't see 205s with this color too often anymore, but overall for the price I find it wasn't a bad deal at all. I do not currently own a 205 but two of its offshoots, a 2000 106 with 235 000 km and a 2002 Saxo with 179 000 km, both with the TUD5, and the remarks you made at 7:25 also applies to these. Not very fast cars off course but very easy on the wallet by all measures, and fairly easy to work on. Will be nice to see what's next for this one.

i just bought one of these, for GBP 1250! 5-door, 1988, 1.8D. same owner for 24 years. if the odometer is accurate it's only 20,000 miles - shopping only.

Rust is only a problem on later post 1991 Spanish built cars. In general 205s are one of the most rust resistant cars of their genration.

My Grandad had a red 205 Junior D (with blue seats!) back in the 90's when it was nearly new and it was a smart looking thing, clattery but distinctive :)

What a pity Australia only bothered to import the petrol versions.

Despite only 60 horses it is a reasonably torquey engine in a lightweight car, all the better for not having a turbo. I see some chancer is asking £5k for one.

Great video btw

Replace lucas fuel pump with a bosch one and screw in the governor. The 1.8 can be turbo'd but my knowledge on this is limited. Or you could swap in a bigger xud engine such as the 1.9 or 2.1, both also had turbo variants. There is a lot of info you can find from old forums if you spend some time googling things.

I’m going to drive mine until something fails until the day comes I change the oil when needed with the usual stuff but I’m not going to be buying anything parts wise unless it’s ready for new timing belt or can’t be much more left on it but positive it will definitely want a clutch next few thousand miles. I swear by the engine I have had every other version of it with and with no turbo. And the best one has no turbo my other one I had three hundred thousand ish on and it was stolen which was a 205 XTDT was fast too i owned it from day one and was aiming for record book mileages it was H reg mint British racing green a rare one to have I thought you have found a great little gem of a car that can show up a lot of other cars for reliable cheap cars

Pergeot have really strong engines which will outlast the car

To be fair I owned a 9-yr old 205 in the mid-90s as my first car and it probably was in no better condition than this one.
