"A good 1.4 16v economical performer, with guts after 3500rpm"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, oh - heated front screen went wonky / one half defrosting? Dealer sorted at no cost to me!!!

General comments?

Excellent car, 16v really pulls for a 1.4 / 16v is key to beating Saxo VTR -VTS is different ball game. Good MPG 35+ combined, mine has all extra's so it is comfortable, although 6th Gear is needed at 112mph! handling is excellent as is braking, steering is very precise. Seats are grippy and comfy, dash is dull. White dials are let down by kak back lighting...

I own a similar age Ghia and have noticed that water is leaking into the interior (remote locking sensor) under the aerial. Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there an easy way to fix it?

Check that the drains in your sunroof are clear!!!Remove sunroof and look for the drainage holes (Blast with air) Job done!!!alternatively check the ariel as the seal may be leaking (Directly above sensor) I have a 1.4Si 1996 Love it loads new exhaust new life to car sounds great now.

Upgraded head unit and some Nice Infinity 6 by 9. fitted front fogs (about to fit induction kit) !!!
