There are benefits of working at a Peugeot garage including cheap/free parts, free mot, cheap servicing but also, once in a while a customer brings on of these beautys in

 


It's a brilliant example of a 205 GTi, clean and tidy, regularly serviced bodywork is in decent nick for its age, but only problem is a fuel pump problem from what I've been overhearing in the workshop.

Get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook.

Very nice looking 205. Also Lee fails just as much for knowing that amount about one of the most boring, unmanly, ugly and pointless cars sold today. Very Happy

The Picasso is a great family car though.

Not sure why anybody would take a 205 to a main dealer though. Would any of the mechanics actually have experience of dealing with them?

How? they have a small boot like all MPV's. A 5 seater is pointless and I bet 80% of MPV owners do not have 5 or 6 children. Estates are superior. Much bigger boot, look better, more manly. I would have a 406 if the insurance was not a rip. Rant over Very Happy

Back on topic though I agree. I am shocked any 205 GTI owner would be going for work done at the dealer.

The owner owns his own garage (CNH autos if anyone knows them) and he had loads of trouble and some of our technicians have been there for about 15-20 years so experience I guess?
