Re: the 205 part 79

Dont worry Rob, the day you decide to get rid of it, it'll run like a dream!!

it

the 205 cant make it to the end of my street let along all the way to the borders

the hedge seeking missile has now managed 3 recoveries whilst travelling a total of 7 miles in the last 2 weeks although each time has given a different problem

why did no one warn me french cars were THIS s**te :)

Mine have never been that bad. You've just bought a dodgy conversion!!!!!! :)

I've had French cars for years. Some were *shockingly* s**te. Some were just s**te, and others were actually good. There was never an OK one, either good or bad .. weird.

I've been driving various French cars on and off since I passed my test (almost 6 years ago). My old 205XS needed work doing every few weeks, but was a labour of love as I gave it lots of abuse - probably did around 30 events in it. Maybe more. The ZX was a shocking buy, but that was my own fault. All the others have been good to me generally. Never had an experience like Rob's!!

Hopefully the BX will treat me well.

You must be new to the n/g. :-) Mike.

The Mrs' 106 was good. Never got driven though, so it didn't get much chance to break down.

I had an AX for 8years - never went wrong once and still looked like new. However that was family owned so a known quantity.....
