Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Engine broke down. Oil pumped out into the water jacket and then overflowed through the water bottle. Caused by either head gasket failure or a cracked head. Apparently this is a common failing on high mileage cars.
Other
Windscreen Wiper motor stopped parking due to grease getting on to the self park terminals. After dismantling and cleanup, it works OK
