The engine mountings were soft.
The indicator switch packed it in.
Headlights stopped working due to switch.
The exhaust fell off three times due to mountings.
Rear wiper stopped working and suddenly started again a month later.
Left CV on it's way out.
Despite all the problems I've had, the car is cheap to repair.
The parts are readily available from main dealers in the U.K. and from a wide variety of breakers yards.
The car is great fun to drive, but not great for pulling birds.
Cheap insurance and tax is great.
I have this car and I have to argee there are many things that can go wrong, I brought the car for £450 and there are many things that are wrong with it!it has a leak, but nothing that can't be fixed however I'm 18 and it's a great 1st car!! cheap to ensure: £600! I'm a girl and I love metros, my girl mates love them to! can't see why they wouldn't be good for pulling birds! they are excellent cars to do up and modify!!! can't wait to get mine finished and take it for a spin!
I had one of these, then had an MG metro, now have a GTa, there very easy to do up as most mini performance parts will fit them, but agree woman don't seem to like them so you must be special!!
