Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Beware the 1.4 head gasket gremlin. Head gasket fails with age not mileage, but approx £300 to prevent.
Other
Hi-brake light - because wires are concealed in tailgate lid, the more often the boot is opened and shut, the wires become frayed and just break, severing the connection
