The gate on the gearbox had slipped - This wasn't a necessary job, as the gearbox still operated fine.
New shock absorbers all round - This again wasn't completely necessary. They weren't completely worn.
Minor Welding on rear wheel arch.
This car has been in the family for 2 years now, and there has not been a single mechanical fault in it. The engine has always started first time.
It is seriously competitive with my friends 1.3 Ford Fiesta.
It is also not far off a Nova 1.4 Luxe, which to me is quite impressive.
It thrashes a Vauxhall Astra 1.3 with no problem.
I have recently fitted some 185/13 steel wheels to the car for improved handling, and I was surprised at just how much difference it made.
Although people argue it isn't a particularly nice looking car, I still think it has aged very well, particularly the bodywork, as there is not a patch of rust anywhere on the car.
This is an ideal first car, for insurance purposes and also for speed.
I'm not looking forward to the day I have to part with it!
Well someone very nicely ran into the back of me and caused £800 worth of damage. Insurance write off :0 (
Great car.
Built to last as long as you look after it, it will look after you.
Great around town.
Great on long trips.
Starts first time (cold or hot)
Great fun to drive if you have good tyres on it.
8/10.
