Automatic choke gets stuck.
Gages fail constantly, but can be solved by a hit across the dash.
Clutch is worn.
Blows a lot of blue smoke which I am quite worried about as it only has done a small about of k's.
Plastic trim turns into dust.
Gear boot pops out when changing gears.
Rear axle became loose and caused vibration and a clunk noise when taking off.
This is a great first or second car.. (can't go wrong in a rear wheel drive manual)
I am 16 years of age on my L plates and I wouldn't buy anything else.
Most of the problems have been easily fixed, but the motor will be rebuilt in the near future with a bigger cam and extractors..
This car is incredibly confortable and is really easy to install a stereo into being a wagon, I couldnt reccomend it more.
Hey mate, I am 17 years of age and my bluebird wagon was my first car as well, and I have had all the problems you have had and have ways of solving them.. I am also running a big cam and extractors through a 2 1/4" mandrel bent exhaust system, it improved economy and now it revs out a lot harder too.. any questions, send me an email (n0thing_suss@hotmail.com)
