I run my Polo out of the local scrap yard - I get good deals now.
Mine doesn't like the wet and I have problems with the revs dropping when it rains. A new set plugs sorted it out so far and WD40 to keep the damp out.
The thermostat is gone so it runs colder than normal but so far she's a good old girl. I have to keep her going until my little un turns 17. She'd be devastated if I had to scrap the Nessa car now.
