Oxygen sensor from purchase, misfire - new HT leads fitted and dist cap.
Very drab and lacking character, the worst car I have ever owned.
Previous car was a Rover 820i which I thought had problems until I purchased the Carina.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I would ANY DAY prefer a car with "lacking character" that's reliable, over ANY French car. Its not because I cannot afford the latter, I just don't have the TIME for all that trouble.
