"Nice looking car, and good value for money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Mainly electrical faults really. Engine management light came on a couple of times, which turned out to be the cam tensioner sensor in both cases. Repaired at cost of around £95.00.

Rocker box gasket went after 90,000 miles, which is fair enough I guess.

More recently the central locking packed up and required a new module. Involved a total cost of just over £250.00.

General comments?

Quite a nice looking car in my opinion.

Fairly economical and enough power on tap if required.

Annoying rattles come from the boot area possibly parcel shelf, but hard to say.

Finish is quite good and no signs of rust anywhere.

Quite heavy on pads and brake discs, and tyres can be expensive if you don't shop around.

If there is a rattle in the boot, then it could be the back wiper motor is not bolted on. It happened on mine, and it cost £2 to fix. I just had to buy 2 bolts.
