Love the 205 best ever small cars!!
I had a colleague from way back when. He had a diesel which he had turbocharger fitted, even before Peugeot did it.
He towed a caravan and found that at the speed he travelled that the turbo was just coming into full boost so had lots more torque, kept speed on inclines
He said it transformed the little car, he had thoughts of getting a bigger vehicle to tow vehicle but the conversion persuaded him to keep it.

I love mine. I had to take it out of service after 27 years and c250,000 miles due to rust around the strut mountings and back chassis rails but I plan to start restoration over next winter, finances permitting. It gave great service and only once let me down when the fuel pump seized.
The Skoda Fabia I originally got to replace it was a hideous car in comparison and drank petrol and gave never-ending problems. I've now got a Toyota Yaris which is a much better car than I expected it to be, definitely preferable to the Skoda but it's missing the typical French character of the 205.
read that as dodgy electrics …. That’s my experience of French built anything and I work on a lot of it ! Maybe improved since. 2010 ?
Mine was built in '96 and the only electrical problem I ever had was a corroded bulb holder in the indicator.
I had a 205 GTi 1.6 back in 1986 as a company car, it was a lovely little thing, even though it constantly rattled from new!

As a company car🤣 now I bet that was more fun than a Ford sierra 🤔
They were the days, it was replaced in 1989 with a Golf GTi 16V
