Couldn't resist it - driving a sh!tty Renault company car for too long and my missis (who's learning to drive!) needed a car.  Imagine that, Lancashire's first Social worker that drives a Mk2 GIT!  Class :huh:

So, I've taken it out for a spin, the engine sounded sweet, everything works but the steering felt proper POO.  This didn't stop me though, I can use it on the track if she doesn't like the heavy steering thought I - but it turns out I'm sure there's something wrong with it.

Haven't had time to buy a Haynes so can anyone offer me a bit of info to check on.  It's on a 84 B plate - from what I've read - it doesn't have power steering?  Is that right?

Nice one

Matt

Sweet, she's learning so you got her a car for you to drive.

With no power steering she's bound not to like it so in the end it becomes your second car, top marks!
