Faults:
Engine leaks oil from main seals. Started happening within 2 year of having the car. Had it fixed didn't show up again until 8 years later. Repairers say it can't be fixed without the engine been replaced. Due to plastic corrosive seals standard.
Rubber seals coming off doors.
Rust on roof top.
Radiator died twice.
Rattle in tail gate until someone re ended us and fixed the problem with tail gate been replaced.
Over heats extremely quick.
Radiator hose leaks water.
One of the cylinders died, costly to replace.
Interior ceiling furnishings are coming loose.
Wheel alignment problems from 2nd year of owning it.
Was garaged for 10 years. Last 2 years the roof became rusted from been outside.
Seat belt bolt broke.
Wipers go wild on fastest setting. Due to this one of the bolts cracked the surrounding plastic which needed to be replaced.
Computer died. Expensive to replace.
General Comments:
Goes well from stop to start.
Dies in second to third gear for auto.
Handles like its on ice in the wet.
Beats most things around its age.
Since it's a station wagon it is really good for camping, packs heaps into it's boot.
Good for carting lots of people at once.
