    Hello,

    Does anybody have to hand the internal dimensions of the estate area of
    1993 405 estate.

    In particular maximum height, width and depth (ok, there isn't anything
    else!).

    Cheers

    Peter
    (trying to find out if the Volvo dog cage will fit the Peugeot)

    Hello Peter,
    Fancy bumping into you here!

    Just so happen I have a 405 Estate - 1995 but I doubt it is much
    different from a 93

    Tail gate opening is 113cm wide from the floor upto a height of 30cm
    then it tapers to 90 wide at a height or 80cm

    Inside the roof lining is higher at 88cm

    The wheel arches and storage pockets above are quite long so most of
    the loadspace is also 113cm wide and up to 30cm high then tapering as
    the door but to 96cm wide at 88cm high.

    Length with the seats up 100cm and 165cm with the seats down.
    Rear seat is at an angle tipped back so possibly loose 20cm in length
    between top edge of rear seats and tailgate.

    Hope this makes sense and is a bit more helpful than other answers to date!

    Regards

    Bob

    Bob,

    That is very helpful, thank you.

    Depending on the taper to the roof, I reckon it should fit! I will find
    out for sure on Saturday!

    Cheers

    Peter

    Hello Bob,

    Nice work ! I just had a look at an estate GL '93 brochure (found with
    Google), the measurement are said as following :
    Cargo lenght (floor) seats up : 1.06m 3.478ft
    Cargo lenght (floor) seats down : 1.61m 5.282ft
    Cargo width bewteen wheel arches : 1.130m 3.707ft
    Cargo height : 0.905m 2.969ft
    Cargo area (seats up) : 1.2sq.m 12.917 sq.f
    Cargo area (seats down) : 1.8sq.m 19.376 sq.f

    (originally expressed with metric system (french brochure), I converted
    them -should be almost OK).

    HTH,

    Sadly, I've got to replace my 405 Estate.

    I'm looking at all possible diesel estates at about 8 years old, >=40
    MPG.

    Does anyone know a good source of size specs? A web site or whatever.

    Just something like the load volume in litres or whatever would be fine.

    Regards

    Hi,
    Consider the deadly trio of movers : Xsara estate, 306 estate or 406 estate,
    if you don't want to get another 405.

    Regards,

    Yes, thanks.

    The 406 estate is a strong possibility. I think the 306 & Xsara would
    be too small( though I haven't seen figures) - but the last of the
    Xantias would also do.

    What I would really like to try, I think, is a D-4D Toyota Avensis - but
    they are difficult to find.

    My Peugeots have been very good, but now Toyota have a good name for
    engineering & reliability.

    All the best
