What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump at 109,000 miles.
General comments?
The most reliable car I have had. Dull to drive but in 8+ years only a Water pump apart from brake pads, 1 Battery and 2 sets of tyres. Now 144,000 miles.
Provides reliable dog/child/wife transport and will do so until it drops.
