General Comments:

The car is running on four cylinders, burns three litres of coolant for every five minutes of driving, refuses to kick down gears, and smells dreadful.

The vehicle's engine was totally rebuilt two years ago, transmission had certain parts replaced. Obviously it wasn't done very well.

The head gasket problem is common in these cars, the NAII still had engine defects.

The main reason I've put this up here is the fact that the car is ruined, but it still drives like a dream, won't overheat even when the coolant is out, and has plenty of power on four cylinders and ruined timing!!!
