A mate is on his second, first one was crashed on a country road (not his fault) but watch for dodgy electrics on the dashboard (common fault and a pig to sort) and his second one had bigger wheels, which didn't go well with the rough roads of South London, went back to the standard 16" as fed up of getting them repaired. Apart from hat, good load lugger, uses it to lug his DJ kit around.....

Hi ive had loads of them over the years ,all to sell on . The first thing is every part of rubber on the suspension will fall apart !The brake pipes are metal and rubber and will rust away @ about £50 each ,the rear watts linkage will knock and fail mot @ about £100 .The clutch is about £250 and the bearing is about £120 before labour ,The boost hose will split and black smoke ,The injectors will start to fail one after the other @ about 80-100k miles @about £150 each and the fuel pump will weep diesel and smell through the heater @ about £200 but besides that they are ok !
