I'm sure one of the Johns did a epic weldathon not long ago on a modern disco, if I remember the chassis is thin sheet tacked onto angle iron corners as standard. Yep, they seem to have moved away from box section at some point. The chassis section on this had actually split down the seam, expanded...

Nothing to report lately on the 405 thankfully. It made it to Pugfest again last weekend in the company of my mates ZX 16v this time too, yet again the weather was perfect but I couldn't be arsed taking any pictures this time around. Now moving on to the scrappers... They don't tend to be mine but I...

Good to see another 405 on here. I can't say I find the sunroof an issue in mine and I'm about 6'. As for seats and Citroens the only ones I have experience of are ZX Volcane seats and they are definitely on par with any of the 405's I've had, even when doing 600+ miles in a day.

Sure he'll be back, he's really into his old motors.

My money would be on the 309 too. The couple of old Fords I had were strong engine and gearbox/drivetrain wise but typically for them dissolved at a rapid rate.

Lovely. My sole 405 was a 1995 glxd turbo estate. I Was a sometime passenger in it for a few years before buying it. I was astonished by the ride quality and just how chuckable and responsive it was whilst holding onto my passenger seat whilst cornering. N170VRW. Brilliant thing. I totally agree. I...

Bit like my SRi spec. Good for the time. I have got a sunroof but it’s seized shut. Still at least it doesn’t leak This one must have been garaged most of its life and thankfully the sunroof works perfectly, touch wood because Peugeot. During the winter months I always make sure I wind the all the ...

I have never actually seen an srdt. I guess that will be a keeper then.? Definitely, just wish I had somewhere I could mothball it for pennies and use it on decent days only. I could really do with a 405 estate instead. AFAIK it's basically an SRi with a derv lump and drum brakes on the back instea...

Those cars are lucky they landed with you, the vast majority of people would have had them shredded by now. I know you don't like diesels but the lack of cats is certainly an advantage in avoiding big bills.

Ouch! Poor maintenance by previous owners or just a bit of bad luck with a few things stacking up at once?
