    Al 6D Diesels, is there no vehicle on planet earth that you can’t throw a battery on and wave your spanner’s at, give a squirt of the old go go juice and it’s alive? Don’t matter it’s condition, the amount of years it’s been neglected or even if a few parts are missing guaranteed you’ll get it running. Love your knowledge on anything engine related. Keep on entertaining us with your videos.

    My dad had one of this when I was a kid, god he hated it lol it was only a few years old at the time and kept braking down, I think it was 1.6 petrol and was gutless, he used to pass everyone on a downhill section of the motorway then everyone passed us again as soon as it hit a hill. FWY 112T think it was the same colour. (I remember all the reg numbers of my dads cars as I grew up but can’t remember my own)

    My dad had the saloon one in 1987 it was two years old .he never had it long .it over heated badly. the radiator and water pump went at same time. he couldn't find those parts anywere in the UK. they weren't that common back then .he sold it to young guy that had rusted out one ready with parts lol
