Faults:

Clutch assembly - juddering, very hard to cure.

Clutch hydraulics.

Head gasket and valves burnt.

Alternator changed two times.

Driving lights went off at 50mph - no fault found.

Rear brake cylinders leaking.

Steering rack went, probably due to bad maintenance.

Worst: Cable from the battery to the starter motor began to glow at a filling station!

Fuse box suffered from a leaking windscreen.

General Comments:

Seemed at bit abused by former keepers and had some built-in faults, but nevertheless a nice car for a young student. Despite many faults, it never really let me down.

Sold the car to a friend at "the end of a repairing row", but it then went more than 100000km without any major fault. Sadly sent to crusher in 1990 due to it being uneconomic to repair rust holes.

Faults:

Needed lots of welding

Suffered a bit from the damp as it got older, but it was easy to take the plugs out and warm them up!

General Comments:

My first car at 18, and I loved it to bits. Took me all over Scotland for 5 years and never let me down.

Like them so much I've just acquired a '76 model. Only to be taken out on sunny days!
