1988 Vauxhall Nova SR 1.3 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Red hot
Faults:
Fuel pump knackered, fuel filter useless, seat wear on the driver's right hand side.
General Comments:
I recommend you buy a Powerflow customized exhaust system with a twin 3" dtm back box because they sound great and improve torque throughout the rev range.
Whatever you do though don't buy a Pipercross bolt on filter because they're rubbish, so are the Splitfire v groove sparkplugs, the leads are okay though the plugs on mine went after 15 miles.
Also not exactly slow for a 1.3 engine, but then again my mates have got 1.3 and 1.4 Fiesta's.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Very cold and without choke: let somebody check the carburettor, the valve of the choke could be stuck. Your fuel consumption should be high then.
