"Very slow diesel"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear suspension manual adjustment valve seized at 65000.

Clutch cable snapped at 95000.

Fan blower intermittent.

A/C intermittent.

Boot rattles.

Driver's door seal leaks.

Washer water level indicator failed.

Eats headlight and sidelight bulbs.

Eats brakes.

General comments?

This car gives the most comfortable ride ever, but it's the slowest turbo diesel I ever had, it's underpowered.

Handling is good.

Reference power problem-check that turbo hose is connected.

Any idea where I can obtain a handbook (or a copy) for my newly acquired 1993 VSX? I have no idea what some of the controls are for.

Where can I obtain a Handbook for a 1996 1.9td Zantia Sx.

Eats brakes??? Or maybe it could be your driving style.

Washer fluid level indicator failed??? Or maybe a blown bulb, not exactly life threatning.
