1988 Skoda Rapid 136 review from UK and Ireland
"For a small cc car it has great performance, cheap economy and deserves a full thumbs up!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Generally carburation, starter motor, master cylinder, clutch master and rear slaves.
Most of the problems were due to the car standing in my yard for a year and a half.
General comments?
My Skoda has been lowered so it handles great on corners. The engine - I would give top marks for acceleration and economy, the car is very easy to service and very cheap as well.
I rebuilt the starter motor for £0.10 (the electricity to run the drill).
