Well, picked one up today for my son, had the added benifit of being LPG on a 1.4, runs sweet, did a brim to brim on lpg on the way back, averaged 44mpg on Lpg, think I worked that out backwards on costs with petrol bit like over 80 mpg against petrol costs, well impressed.

Thier pretty nippy round the corners! Bit like driving a go-kart, think I going to rename it mini mig.

Aint got a clue mate, just from talking to vx mechanics back then i remember them saying how bad they were and problematic.

Typical VX 'Stealers' any excuse to bump the bill up higher than ever.  ANY car is 'problematic' and 'difficult to work on' when your in the business of ripping off charging customers for your 'overpriced' service!! 

(recently quoted £160+vat, to change a 2.5TD's glowplugs!! by my local stealer. Wanted £15+vat per plug, FFS. Actually did the job meself, NGK plugs, £4.75 each from the local factor)

the parts are the same for a huge percentage of the parts.

Unfortunately not many people know/realise just how much manufacturers do this

Not a bad car for a yoof I guess, torque steer is quite amusing, firm suspension, cam belt fairly easy, no more grief than any other front wheel drive although maybe a tad less access on average. Sun roof pops up when the glass boot lid is shut on the one opposite us, and I have to have the sun roof open to drive it 

It has been reliable though.
