I have a 1.6 sx 2000 V Marea weekend.
Love it but starting to have problmes with it. The rear sub frame was replaced after bushes went in October - that was the 2nd time in 2 years!!! Over £500 a time. In october we also had rear brake pads and discs replaced, wishbones at the front and the Timing Belt ( we had done 74,000).
On Christmas day, the brake warning light started to come on - never seen that before in the 6 years we have ad the car. - I presume this indicates that the front brake shoes/pads need done - what price is reasonable for this?
Seen a lot of talk on here about the Cam belt replacement - Is that the same as the timing belt?
Also our boot lock is knacked - well the handle really. If it get jammed up the boot is out of use. What is the easied way to fix this problem.
Many Thanks for all.
