actually she had to part wi'it due to the petrol tank.
my step father borrowed it for the day to go up to yorkshire, filled the tank full to top. half way there started the problems, so he pulled over and it were leaking petrol, so after being towed home, he ditched it and bought a (new at the time) vauxhall astra 1997..sold that after 5months of owning it got a fiat punto
he said "i dont know my problem with cars" i replied "you're problem is you keep buying vauxhalls, and now a fiat"
