Being trying to find a pair of door pins (roll pins not torx screws) for ages, can not find them for less than £20 a pair. Anybody know where l can get them for a decent price?

Also if anyone is thinking about buying a 205 consider the work required!l bought mine (1990 1.6) 2 months ago for £300, so far I've changed the rear axle (a decent torsion beam is very hard to find!) which resulted in snapping both copper brake pipes, Tried to find a decent drivers seat, impossible, so had to stick a passengers seat on the mount, flushed the fuel system, changed the thermostat, given it a full service, had to change a drive shaft oil seal, had to fit a full exhaust, would not run, turned out to be a broken vacuum hose running from the dizzy to the throttle body, only one radiator fan works, odo does not work, door lock on drivers side tempramental cus the doors dropped, door lock linkages loose, headlight glass fell off, now need to get my fuel air mix set up cus it is running lean....

But.... l LOVE IT!!!!

P.S Do not bother going to a scrap yard for parts, you tend to get laughed out of the yard!!

l currently own Peugeot 205 is from 1984, 86, 90, & 93.
The driver is door is difficult to shut after 10 to 15 years due to the hinges. The door hangs a few millimeters too low, & does not shut smoothly, unless SLAMMED> But, l have noticed that the hinge pin is not the problem.
The hole in the solid metal hinge wears unevenly, until the round hole becomes an oval, allowing the door to sag.

Here in America ( l am here on vacation) u can buy these hinge pins in all diameters. A metal, hollow cylinder with a cut, lengthwise. Just give me the diameter & l will buy u two, then mail them to u from Ohio.???
email me from my avatar profile...Trevor

PS.. the radiator fan from a 405? or a 306 is the same little fan.
speedometer cable wears down from a square shape, to a rounded shape just behind the speedometer, so the cable just spins around inside a square hole. u need a new cable,
l have several glass lenses for the 205 headlights at my home in Belgium. Were u unable to locate these in ur country?
