"Nice looking junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air pressure sensor.. warranted.

Power steering cooling tube ruptured.. own cost.
Rear nearside speaker wiring failed.. own cost.
Poor paint finish blemished in sunshine.
Radio self switches on at random times..
Dashboard lights partly failed.. own cost next service..
Cam belt req`d at 60000 and not 80000 as per handbook... fleeced again £111:00 including rollers.
New windscreen due to body flexing.. insurance paid excess over £50.00.
General comments?
Bought as a replacement for an Omega with sensor and engine problems.. what a mistake to make, ho hum here we go again.
