"Big nipper, it can move"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Boot lock/opening mechanism.

Main fuel pump.

Steering rack.

Horn.

Propshaft bearing.

Brake pads.

Brake fluid leak.

General comments?

A good car for a large family; we have rear facing seats in the boot, the children have now outgrown them however.

It is a good car to drive, but it has now got to the stage where it is costing a lot to service - even if one avoids rip-off dealerships like Lloyd's.

The interior still looks good despite receiving endless abuse from small children with juice, crisps, beer etc.

It handles well, never under/over steers (apart from when my wife drives).

When my wife drives, I also find handling problems. How fast can you get to 60?

When my wife drives, we only seem to go round square corners, never managing to get out of 4th gear? I can't see this being a problem with the car itself.

When my wife drives... I never let the small children have beer with their juice and crisps. :D.
