That 1.5D should be good forever in terms of the engine though, the other bits tend to fail first like the fuel pump which can be expensive. I think the 1.5 had an alloy block and head, the 1.4 had an iron block - maybe.

The older 205s had the XUD engine which would sometimes have head gasket failure and overheat but would also last a long long time otherwise.

Bosch bits seem to last well but are expensive to replace, Lucas ones last less well but can be cheaper. Swings and roundabouts.

Bodywise I haven't see a crusty 106 (old or facelifted 'new' stylee) yet but I think that later 205s seem to have lasted longer that early 106s even the ones made in Algeria. May be worth a trip underneath with a can of underseal in some of the more exposed bits during the summer if this is a keeper.

I miss my Algerian run-out Mardi-Gras 205 TD, but not the dealers who are about as much use as a marzipan mallet, even for spares.

EDIT : I think there was a turbo one in France, but I may be wrong. I remember Diesel Car having a test of one - 0-60 in 11 seconds, 55 mpg or something like that.
