God almighty life has got in the way of much 960 fun these past 5/6 weeks...
My cancer induced Anaemia and the colder weather has definitely had me taking to my bed .. but something of the 3.0ltr 24valve goodness stirs in my loins ... But it's another younger lady that has caught my eye and this time it's not a Volvo! I feel dirty and ashamed but a rare v6 French lovely has caught my eye ... I am currently bidding online for it so all will be revealed shortly .. win or lose it's an interesting car and one of under 30 left in the UK.. Fringers crossed and juices rising I maybe a few mins away from a second 3.0ltr 24valve lovely |

all were electrically challenged but the engines were so much fun and the 205s were a joy especial the GTD I had before company cars took over for a few years |

The Active Suspension system can give lots of trouble, usually through sensors and/or other electrical gremlins that all French cars are known for. Also the 24v heads developed by Peugeot for the PRV engine aren't the best, can go porous and/or crumble. Also prone to overheating in the exceptionally tight engine bay which again, isn't good!

Berlingos are death traps, 205s are another nightmare, the n/as XUD9 diseasel heads would crumble for a pastime, the only one out of that lot with any redeeming features is the 1.4 AX although that's just a restyled 106. The 1.4 diseasel lump was one of Peugeots better efforts but still highly polluting (even by the standards back then) for a diseasel. The petrol XU9 (aka 1.9 as fitted to 205 GTI) was an incredibly fumey unit and would throw oil into the breather system with alarming regularity. It was an unwritted service item to empty a can of carb cleaner into the breather and throttle body at a 6000 service and often it needed the same treatment in between services if the driver was "enthusiastic".
