Hand brake light kept coming on.
The SPEAKERS ARE COMPLETELY CRAP.
Seat belt came loose from holder.
Rotor arm needed replacing as well as distributor cap.
Clutch cable wore out.
General comments?
Performance is shocking, around 18 seconds for 0-60!!! First gear has to be the worst, although I once took it up to 30 in first gear, which ended in a visit to the garage. Brakes are pretty naff, they lock up in the wet. Handling is poor, I'm on a new set of front tyres for the second time, £60 for two Uniroyals which hardly improves the handling at all.
Two many bits of fiddly trim on the car, the car is terribly outdated for a 1993 vehicle and many areas of it seem awful. I wish I'd never bought the bloody shed, and I'd rather eat a bagle than drive this car.
