Im all outta love!
« on: 06 February 2013, 17:08 »
Christ my motors nothing but a ball ache. Got the car in october had an oil n filter change, changed the whole cam belt set up, did the air filter, cabin filter, ht leads, spark plugs, dissy cap, spent even more cash of sorting all the exhaust gaskets but it didnt stop the annoying noise when you accellerate? topped up powrr steering fluid,brake fluid, fresh anti freeze even a set of new rear brake pads bought which turns out it didnt need. Now its failed thr mot as its got seized calipers and needs 3/4 hours of welding. Gonna cost me another £400 i aint got. And 2 of the 4 windows still dont bloody work lol fkin mare :drool:

Well its gonna be a very short ownership at this rate. I was after a reliable car. Guess i shoulda bought a boring honda for the 3rd time. Looks like mk3's are only good if your a mechanic or more money than sense. And im neither. Still wallowing in woe  :angry:

well the first and only real advice when buying ANY mk3 - buy on condition of the shell - and lack of rust  :whistle:

rust must have been there when ya purchased it  :lipsrsealed:
