Wow, that's very impressive for any car let alone a 205!

 

What sort of maintenance has it needed during that time?

[kenneth205xld 13 5 Cars]

Apart from servicing, a few rear axles,re shim the tappets at about 290000 miles. The major engine work was carried out at 498000 miles including a rebore, new precombustion chambers, new standard size big end bearings, thrust washers, new rings and new exhaust valves. The crankshaft and camshaft were found to be in excellent condition. The oil pump was checked and was found to be in good condition only requiring a new chain. I used genuine gaskets only. This car has never missed an oil change which was done every 5000 miles using only good quality oils. How do I reduce the size of the photos so that I can post some up?

To reduce the image size I simply use Paint, you choose to reduce the image size in percentage. I would be very interested in seeing some photos of this little beast!
