What a lovely peppy little motor, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised how much I like it. The leather seats are soooo comfy, the steering is so smooth and it's 19 years old, economy for a petrol engine was impressive, it had 3/4 of a tank of fuel and it managed 105miles per quarter of a tank and that was doing 70 mph most of the way, very pleased with it I have to say.
Down sides, I think the clutch is about to go as the bite point is at the very top and it judders when you move off in first with lots of revs. Also the steering pulls to the left and it had a slight wheel wobble at 70mph but I'm having the tracking and wheel balancing done tomorrow so that will be one less thing to do.
To be honest half the appeal is being able to have a little project as well as a daily car, looking forward to getting stuck in.
Oh does anyone know the cost of a clutch on the 1.4 petrol? Any help is appreciated.
cheers,
Mark
