I bought the car last year in July. I'll be honest...Since then I've had a few problems, although I've spent loads fixing it.

The last full service was in Febuary and the garage noted some problems that they came accross.

There is a slight leak from the gearbox, but it has not affected anything for as long as I've owned the car and they said it isn't worth fixing because of the age of the car.

There is also a leak near the spark plugs. Distributor? something along those lines.

The paintwork is in average condition and I'm most likely to get it sorted before I sell.

There is dent on the drivers side where the rear bumpstip would be (I have taken these off).

The only rust patch I can find is on the drivers door sill. There is probably some other bits somewhere that I haven't noticed.

The passanger lock does not work but I know how to fix it and can give it ago if need be.

I have just bought 2 electric window runners for £140, without the motors as I had them already.

Basically since I bought it this is what I've had done:

New battery,

New starter motor

The gearbox had to be repaired because the starter motor damaged it somehow

3 new tyres

Electric window runners

New timing belt

I have not modified the car apart from clear indicators and de-badged grill.

It comes with some service history. Although the starter motor, gearbox repair and timing belt is not on paper work as a relative (qualified mechanic) did this for me privately.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but please contact me with any questions.
