model:- 1991 "H" 3 door 16v
mileage:- 135k
miles per week: 350 when im working, 30 at uni.
Replacement parts bought how often:recently ive been buying loads of bits to get it to scratch. new crank pulley, door handle, heater box, wipers, cambelt and tensioner, oil, sump seal.
any other comments:- Its cost me a fortune over summer, i hit some diesel in the road and smashed into a curb, that set me back about £200 in new parts alone. its got an oil leak somewhere, and i think its from the sump gasket so im going to do that soon, its not too bad. then move on to the body work as its running spot on.
