saxo vtr do they brake easily ?

[damo_vtr]

I bought a mk2 vtr poseiden blue good condition 83000 on clocks about 9month ago paid 550 had tax n mot on it smoked front lights top and bottom struts fitted and a viper alarm all seemed good for 550 since owning the vtr it's had 2 starter motors soon to be 3 a power steering pump drivers door central locking mechanism might need gearbox soon aswel also needs a door check strap it seems never ending lol just wondering if any1else has had all these problems at all ??

piece of string, depends how it's maintained and driven. I have seen some over here who rag their car, buy parts from the scrappy and complain that it breaks again within weeks.

Never had a problem with mine except for a gearbox at 120k and a bit of moisture in the indicator stalk.

I'm 26 and just drive it normal average Btween 40-50mph i bought it as I sold my 106 and my 306 needed abit of money spending on it and I thought id give the saxos a try as looked decent and was cheap enough and sayin moisture my back rear light gone cloudy

brake pedal is quite easy to push so yeah they brake easily

My last saxo had been treated very well for years, a lad then had it about a year before me and he ragged it...I then got it for £200 and all it really needed was a good service and it was fine. It's recently just ticked over 130k miles and it's still running strong, I gues all then years Ch!p had it did it good! Then I bought a saxo with 90k miles on for £400 and everything that can go wrong has, rear axle, clutch, head gasket...etc. saxos are just luck of the draw

It's a saxo they fall in bits.

[Gandi699]

are these brand new starters you are fitting?

Two ways, the easy way and the very easy way:

- take the light cluster out, piece of piss. Hairdryer for a minute or so.

- park the car in the sunshine

I had full service history, and it was like, oil change, tyre change and that's about it. Kid who bought it off of me had not one, not two, but three accidents within a month, wrote it off. Idiot.

probably needs resealing with a bit of silicone or buying a new unit. Can get a set on here for a tenner, hell i've got a set of mk1s going spare

[damo_vtr]

not brand new but iv bought clean ones that look newish thay haven't been battered ones and off lowish mileage cars.

[damo_vtr]

I could do that but when do we get sunshine lol. il probly just buy some seem cheap enough.

[Manu]

wouldn't buy a new one just because of moisture. Like you mentioned, shit weather and a lot of people have cloudy lights.

Like others have said, there's some good cars and some bad cars about - you just happened to get an unlucky one by the sounds of it. Generally though, if you get a decent one, it shouldn't fuck up that much at all.
