"Reliable and economical for a Petrol Engine"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Clutch cable went @ 96,000 due to heavy clutch, hence new clutch also fitted.

Brake and Clutch pedals fell from there pivot making pedals loose and brakes just about usable.

Passenger side electric windows doesn't work.

Driver side lock stopped unlocking with key.

Central Locking only works from passenger door.

Front of exhaust became loose at manifold, 2 nuts had gone missing!

General comments?

Reliability seems to over ride performance, although the car is ideal for long distance or motorway travel. I seem to get about 40-50 mpg on the motorway @ a steady 70.

A good car to get cheap spares for.

Lots of them on scrap yards for spare (not sure if this is a good sign though!)

40-50 MPG sounds impressive, I do blast up the motorway at more than 70 but I recon I get about 29MPG. £40's worth usually lasts 300 miles if I'm lucky, all thanks to the slippery shape.
