After previously owning a Metro several years, loved the car, however after my old metro failed an MOT and it was time to part company, This particular Metro I bought was at the time a bargain, and it's taken me 2 months to figure out why.
This Metro had 1 owner from brand new and the owner had spent a fortune on it, as she had kept all the service and the repair receipts. I bought the car and have had nothing but trouble with it. Definitely will not be buying another Metro again because it's very rare now that you can get one in a really good condition. I've just bought a Ford escort 1.8d and the Metro is getting scrapped.

It doesn't have a choke!
