Cheap Fixes on The £400 Peugeot 205

[@adelaideautowashes]

The Peugeot 205 is a really cheerful car. There were so many trim levels that it appeared there was a trim for everyone.

You've gone the hard way round this it's a 5 minute job to replace the indicator. The black plastic adjuster stays on the car, headlight is held in with spring clips then its 1 screw then the indicator slides out.

My classic is a base spec 205 so it’s great to see some Pug content!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Excellent choice!

[@theglowingnugget7999]

Same mines the same as his just a black grill and also a black grill

Next time just 3D print a 1980s Peugeot 205.

[@cmdt.brezonte9023]

Great video guy, I'm a proud user of the 205, cheers

[@timbre7999]

What a pain with all those broken screws, my hat off to you for perservering through. That indicator price makes all well though, brilliant and complete with screw & plate as well.

[@101purdy]

You should test lamps etc before refitting trim cause if it does not work it'll need to be stripped back down

[@silwyth1990]

Can you sand or use acetone on the 3d print gearknob to make it smooth? Good channel, I enjoy watching.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Nice work. I hope you cleaned the crud from the aerial base 🤞

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Absolutely!

[@grez6330]

Please be a little more careful when donkin the aerial base on top of the roof!

[@christimbers7526]

Just bought a 1.8 d going to d turbo it :)

[@grez6330]

I have a 1.8D, would love to turbo mine dont know how , any advice please?

[@retrooutput]

Remove grill, Unclip metal clip on the right, undo screw on headlight adjuster - headlight comes straight out, undo screw holding indicator into plastic holder and it slides out. I felt really sorry for you doing this the really long way :/

[@morkelork4730]

I’ve had the same indicator hassle with my 205. It’s pretty straightforward once you do it 10 times😅. But interestingly, my gear stick was fitted with the ‘94 only tennisball option, very rare! They’re huge fun to work on, even if you’re a novice like me

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

I've got NO plans to do it again! - Joe

[@retrooutput]

'94 Tennis Ball option? Which one is that?

[@paulbrimble8204]

Invest in ratcheting spanners...they are great. I'd love a 205, but no space!

[@robertngreen6]

Good work and well done improving the little chap!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

A lot of improvement for not much cash, eh?

[@julianlangdon3456]

Use Plus-Gas, not WD40. I was told decades ago, chose to ignore it; I've since learnt it was completely true

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly matey.

I think this Channel needs to do some collaborations

Old PSA diesel engines run forever!

[@deranocasper]

Hello there does anyone know where i can get a 1.8 diesel engine for a 205 cheers

[@roryingram9332]

Did the aerial base seal ok? I have one to fit and the lack of gasket makes me nervous!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

It seemed to remain watertight despite a couple of months of rain, but the lack of gasket did concern me too -Joe

[@roryingram9332]

@@ClassicsWorldUK good man, thanks. I have a base model 205 that's running a 106 GTi engine and gearbox, it's a laugh!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

That sounds hilarious fun!

My junior only has a 4 speed :(

[@mattyb3983]

Really good vid ! excellent !

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Thanks Matt, plenty more to come!

[@yves-mariesellin6026]

Bien joué 😊

[@Jameshoward999]

Now I can see why it was 400 quid and why u didn’t get a metro

[@phil6747]

Do the lower models use the same body shell as the GTI?

[@charlierandell7557]

Rear arches are wider on the inside

[@dylangargan8384]

My dad has a Peugeot 205 gti aswell and its just rotting i cant wait to fix it

[@amnril]

Wow, you didn’t need to do 80% of what you did to change the indicator lens, still, you learnt how it all fits together I suppose. 😂👍

[@anaconda470]

I bought a new 205 gear knob. Some genius made round hole, while 205 obviously has squarish gear stick. Wasted 17 EUR...

[@m1geo]

8:55 - the 3D print? Not very awesome at all. You can achieve much, much better results with that type of 3D printer. But, the concept is bloody awesome!

[@ClassicsWorldUK]

Worth remembering, this was the first concept we made, using one of the cheapest 3D printers on the market!

[@m1geo]

@@ClassicsWorldUK oh, I agree. Its a win at any level! But, you can achieve much better by tweaking the machine a little. Nice work!

It is amazing car

[@georgebamber6871]

11:05 value £1500 🤔

[@petem6474]

You don't need to take all that off tho 😂 its a 2min job to remove the headlight and indicater.

[@mikeormond7883]

You didn’t need to remove the grill to take headlights out the unclip from the adjuster and pull out, then easy access to the indicator
