"An oil truck!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Battery died.

Front ball joints had to be changed.

Rear window heater never worked.

Always leaked oil.

General comments?

Don't buy an old Metro unless it's in top condition. You hear too many noises when driving, and you can never find the problems!

My Metro HLE is 17 years old. I drive 70 miles a day now. It is economical, runs well and usually passes the MOT.

Lovely 'little' motor 'B' registration so expect things to go wrong but can usually pick up spares from scrap yards. My 1.3 pulls my 12'caravan! Doesn't like hills much!
