My 89 Berlina has done 322000km's on it.

Current Known Faults:

1. Engine and Auto have almost had it.. have been in the car since brand new.
2. Left hand Door Handle is broken
3. Steering Wobbles at about 90km onwards (I've posted Trying to solve the problem... You'll find it on here somewhere)
4. Coolant Leaking from bottom of Radiator hose... I'm only assuming I've tightened it too much..
5. Power Steering pump has had it.. but will be replaced with the new motor that I'm getting and that one will get reco'ed along with the engine.
6. Car is pretty Dirty :cry:
7. Catalic Converter has a rattle in it.
8. Exhaust Tip (joint at the very end of the 2nd Muffler) cracking along edge and just needs a weld.
9. L/R Electric window regulator

and I think thats about it..

Known faults before I had the car:

1. Engine and Auto was over it even before I bought the car.
2. Was missfiring due to a coil pack.. Still does and its internal Compression so thats why I'm getting another motor.
3. Power Steering Rack.
4. Rear Brakes
5. Tyres
6. Strut Mounts
7. Diff end Uni
8. Thermostat
9. L/R Tail light faded
10. Front of Rear Control Arm Bushes :bang:
11. Exhaust Rubber Mounts
12. Horn
13. Rear Rotors (Only done one which was from a wrecker should think about replacing both with dba)

And I'm sure thats about it... everything except 1 and 2 were knocked back during the roadworthy) 2 I fixed before hand. 1 I'm planning on doing very soon.

Plans for the car:

1. Replace the motor and gearbox
2. Reco the current Motor and gearbox
3. fix the current faults.
4. Keep the car while I'm on my p plates
