Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
yes since th day i have had it. in the first week the brake lights stopped working properly. i had to have the brake pedal adjusted. the windows leaked and mould grew on the glass and rubber. headgasket blew at 30k which was an £800 repair bill 2 weeks later the clutch went then the brake pads discs needed changing at £300 the car constantly rattles and squeaks im always frightened its going to fail as its always making stange noises and things sound loose. so in 12months this car has cost over £2000 to fix in repair bills alone, being off the road for about 2 months of the 12.
What's most practical about your car?
nothing
