Fixing them is part of the fun!

jambo18 · 22nd January 2011, 15:02

its a total joke eh. av now spent hundreds fixing mine and it still isnt working. thought i was going to be needing a new alternator but got it going, however my battery is completely goosed so its on charge now

madmattracing · 22nd January 2011, 15:43

theres alot to do with luck
ive has 2 fiat uno turbos ,one broke down every other day,was fucking hopeless,
the only problem i has with the second one was the washer pump,
my racing saxo vtr hasnt let me down once baring the odd gearbox and driveshaft that you would expect being a race car

jambo18 · 22nd January 2011, 16:05

well i seem to have very bad luck with my car then

madmattracing · 22nd January 2011, 16:14

most reliable car i owned was a golf tdi 160,000miles 130bhp and over 600 miles to a tank,a friend of mine had a astra gsi,that was quite reliable

jambo18 · 22nd January 2011, 16:17

i like golfs, they last forever!

madmattracing · 22nd January 2011, 16:24

STEVE.

jambo18 · 22nd January 2011, 16:45

jambo18 · 23rd January 2011, 13:09

have not had a single problem, all I have spent on mine was regular maintenance. The gearbox/clutch was pricey, but I'd rather have that than a half arsed bodge job and having to fix it all the time.

i remember my 106, in the garage every week with a new problem each time when I got to 60 Kmiles. I spent almost 2 grand on repairs/maintenance then sold the fucker to cut my losses.
