History

I owned this car for about 3 years. It proved to be quite reliable overall. It was a great cruising car and was perfect for the regular 300+ mile journey I had for my last job down in Brighton. However the poor fuel economy and high insurance costs do make it expensive to run. Some of the main jobs I had done on the car were:

bullet

replace coil & stator after the engine cut out and refused to start again

bullet

replace engine imobiliser to cure the engine cutting out intermittently

bullet

3 sets of HT leads!

plus the usual service items.

The car had done 96000+ miles when I sold it, 48000 of which were during my ownership.
