Most reliable/abused car you ever owned/couldnt kill!
Eeyore:
I'd have to plumb for my 110, Flower.
she's taken some stick in her time and still keeps giving. Not outrageous, challange type, off road, but competition tracks and forests. She's flown more times than an air-steward!
No broken drive train, shattered CVs, or bent axles. 8)
Sweeeet!
Cheers

Bush Tucker Man:
Believe it or not, it was an Italian car :shock: :shock:
A 'L' plated Fiat Uno diesel that we bought new, not a moments trouble!!
Then it went in PX for a (new) Punto TD, that was a great little car as well
Unlike the Tempra estate that replaced the Punto (worst car we've ever had)
Boggert:
My Fieste Diesel< did 60 mpg, you could bang it, knock it, get it wet and I even accidently set the engin bay on fire but it just kept going with out fault.
Sadly it was destroyed by a lorry on a roundabout.
littlepow:
No laughing, but it's true!
98 Rover 420 Tdi :shock:
Did about 80,000 miles in just under 3 years.
Only fault was the front calipers stuck when I went to trade it in.
Was fixed with a lump hammer, driven on to the forcourt and used the engine and handbrake to stop the car! :twisted:
Guardian.:
my old iveco turbo daily, had it from 12months old i did just over 200,000 miles in it, ran on neat veg oil the whole time never had an oil change service anything, until about a month before i soldit, the clutch cable snapped, so changed that for about 50 quid, and thought id do an oil change, had to use the gas to melt the sludge out the sump.
bearing in mind this was a 3.5 ton van abused every day, overloaded driven flat out, and never a hitch in 4 years, and now lives in the south of france as a mobile workshop for a caravan repairer.
