Touches wood. My desk. Not knob. Haha brilliant. I agree, I have had 4 years of relatively cheap motoring. To be honest the worst car I ever owned was my 2002 Celica 190. It was almost impossible to keep it in 'Lift' (Toyota's VTEC) when changing from 2nd to 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did that not surprise me Well someone on here has to have good taste Ok Dan not having a go at you but "never owned a poor (cr*p) car" & "have good taste"? May I remind you of the following below.... On 30/11/2015 at 19:26, Ekona said: Ford Focus 1.8 TDdi, ...are you sure?. (I know it was your first car so definitely a cut above what I had still. ) Worst car I owned purely for the amount of things that went wrong on it & the money it cost me was my 1996 JDM Subaru Impreza WRX. Engine blew (one month after I bought it) ~ oil pump failure leading to big end failure. (Rebuilt engine to better than OEM spec £4.5K) Gearbox failed ~ most parts internally replaced. Rear diff broke. Front diff needed adjusting ~ then broke afterwards. Gearbox failed again ~ rebuilt completely apart from parts from last build which were ok. Various sensors replaced in the engine bay ~ can't remember them all. Engine blown again after 12K miles covered since rebuild ~ this time put a piston crank arm through the block. Sold the POS as a non-runner to a Subaru specialist who used it for parts & the shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Pug 406 coupe 2.2 HDi. FIrst generation DPF system fitted to it. Caused no end of woe. Not to mention the vacuum swirl valves made of chocolate. Hateful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justthejedi Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 MG Maestro 1600cc which was an absolute dog. Could never get the twin weber carburettors to balance, hot restarts was just a joke and very embarrasing, cylinder head cracked, gear linkage just fell off so couldn't get any gears.....and then I crashed into the back of somebody at a round-about which cost me a fortune to fix.

HaydnH Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Mk1 MR2 SuperCharger tuned to 190bhp... absolutely great car... but my brother rolled it in to a ditch the first time he borrowed it within a year of me owning it so I wish I'd never had it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
