When I went to France I drove the girlyfriends to Waterloo Station, as my 110 would not of gone into the underground car park..

I laughed all the way there...

Shouted "WEEEEEEEEEE" as I went around corners.....

And giggled everytime I 'beeped' the horn, as it vibrates on your feet...

All that from a car which is of Kinder Egg quality......

Thanks for that its a 1100, and the best £150 I have spent, its fun to drive very cheap and fast but economical, only down side is tyres are 36 quid each.
I bought it to make a few quid but I use it for work and the tip runs etc to save dirtying the Disco and the Vitara only does 21 MPG its saved me a fortune it fuel, even brought a motorbike from Wales in the back of it

Well fitted the thermostat, but its now leaking I think from behind the cam belt cover so assumeits the water pump?
Any ideas?

it is a Safe engine so it will not matter if the cambelt snaps as you just time it up, put a new belt on and away you go.

but whilst in there do it

and they are prone for headgaskets
