80 pounds 9 months mot mechanically fine 50 mpg use bumpers to park not a nail but looks like someone washed it with a wool mit most of the laquer peeling. This is true shedding

[miken2k8]

spent 5 quid on paint and laquer spray was and a bucket from the pound shop.

sprayed the species and bumpers gave it a good wax looks slot better

still get looks of peasantry of people though. it's a car surely any car is good

16 quid on 2 ok speakers thks amazon. and A chinese hu 25 quid seems to do everything sounds ok

[miken2k8]

put 2000 miles on it in 2 months now on 57000

bit of a step down from a gs300 but it's saving me 300 quid a month

the shocker is it actually looks clean inside!

it is not a mark on the brittle plastic anywhere. not seen another one since I've had it. getting parts is a nightmare though you type in xsara to Google and Picasso comes up

[miken2k8]

I just like seeing clean unmodified older cars. even if they are a bit rubbish. saw a mk1 focus today they still look good

[miken2k8]

it is a west coast but has not aircon which makes my balls sweat. electric windows are in the dash which doesn't make much sense

[miken2k8]

wondered where it was

[miken2k8]

there is a blow on the exhaust small hole on rear section. would. piece of chewing gum over it and then set suffice for the meantime. don't want to shell out for an exhaust even though it's only 40 quid.

if anyone ever needs a cheap headunit for an old car 25 quid with bluetooth usb sd fm decent quality screen. Been a godsend recently bluetooth calling also good.

50 quid for a set of period vts alloys and tyres and set of lowering springs (not fitted yet) amazing the grip difference with a decent of tyres.

so the clutch died in this. Had a new one fitted also changed the belt oil and plugs.

needs a new exhaust brake master cylinder

the heater doesnt work either worked on full blast when i got it then stopped altogether. had it to bits power to the motor direct form the battery. rear demistor stopped at same time have been told it could be ignition switch. i had a saxo as my first car and it had no issues at all this thing has loads. i appreciate it's a 20 year crap car but would be a shame to scrap it for a few niggles. iv'e not seen another mk1 xsara anyewhere since iv'e had it or a mk2.

with good reason i assume
