"Excellent performing diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator required replacement, no leaks just that the fins had fallen out in the lower half of the radiator causing it to overheat at 80mph+ (new radiator cost £85+VAT + labour.
Rip in drivers seat.
Alternator belt tension pulley rattled (£50+ VAT + labour)
General comments?
Considering the mileage of this car I am really impressed, I was a bit dubious at first, but the garage said it was in excellent condition.
Very impressed by the performance of this car, the turbo comes in at fairly which makes this car fairly rapid.
The car handles better than a lot of cars I have driven and is exceptional in town driving and on the motorway it is a joy to drive.
Fuel economy is excellent as with most diesels and I am generally impressed with the build quality of this car.
