Rocker gasket leaking when bought - £20 and fitted myself.
Front brake pads, rear brake shoes, and 2x rear wheel cylinders renewed 1 month ago, cost £120 in parts.
Slight rust on front of bonnet.
Front windscreen wash piping cracking and split, replaced for £10.
Battery went flat quickly, but it turned out it was a faulty battery from a 1993 model. Cost £35.
The car is a great little car for running to work and back every day.
It has adequate acceleration from standing upto around 50mph, then it starts to get sluggish, probably due to age.
Once you get to 80mph ish, the car will happily stay there.
Steering wheel wobbles at 75mph.
Apart from that, a great little car.
Never broken down.
Starts quickly every morning.
My wheel wobbled at 75mph..turns out the tracking and balancing are really crap on these cars. Had it fixed at the garage for £20 now it works a treat and I'm not using all my energy to turn the wheel everytime I need to turn now. So much smoother.
I have had one of these for 2 years now. No serious problems at all. had to replace the washer system because it got all bunged up with algae.
Brakes needed doing for MOT purposes...
Sheer wear and tear, cost was very fair and cheaper than most to replace parts.
Wheel inbalances have nothing to do with the car, just the wheels themselves. Get them balanced for £10 at your local kwikfit.
In all, I very reliable run around.
