to be fair i am a bit of a spaner monkey anyway so doing the repairs is no hardship, it's more the frequency of the repairs that is raising an eyebrow. so far since getting it in january it has had rear discs, central locking, all brake pipes, 5 patches of welding, power steering pipes, alternator, starter, front swivels and wheel bearings, cam belt and a leccy fan conversion amongst other things which given we're only just into april seems to be a job for every day. still for a car that only cost 650 quid it's not bad.
