"Bucket of cheap snot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine consumed a lot of oil rebuilt at 25000.
Engine needs rebuild at 35000.
Tyres wear badly.
Gear box pressure plate faulty.
Horn faulty.
Rear break led lights faulty.
Blower fan faulty.
Door rattles and squeeks.
General comments?
The ute has been designed into a rocket, but is such a peice of junk you wouldn't want to go over the speed limit you know it's a bad car when every time you go on a trip in a new car your worried about if you will get home.
