Just done over 500 miles on the car since, few short trips, longest drive was to Milton Keynes, car purred but a few things I noted. 2800-2900rpm slight droning/humming/zooming noise when pressing the gas, mainly in 5th gear, going about 50-60, car hasn't been driven past 65mph so I don't stress the engine. - Bearing? who knows... IN NEUTRAL Clutch dipped - engine rattling sound gone, Clutch Up - engine rattling sound --- maybe thrust bearing? Do these cars have dual mass flywheels? Engine oil needs a good change, dip stick showing up as kinda dirty so its worrying. Also radiator takes ages to warm up so need to check for a leak somewhere. oh, and my strut mount bearing has fallen off... so im getting that fixed. soon.

I got it for a good price. As for the seals, yes. But the doors and locks work fine. EPC light is on before ignition. Brakes are squeaking and I'll need to service it over the weekend. But it is nice, loving the space and drive, looking at the topic to change alloys as well as add cruise control so lets see. Ibz

Picked this up the other day, been looking at these for a while now, I wanted the Fabia Scout but for a cheap city car this hits the spot. Strut bearing is loose but it runs well, just driven it 500 miles since purchase and its purring.
