Newly joined after reading most of this forum:
Got my beastie in February: 1999 T Marea Weekend 2.0 HLX in Blue 54K.
Upgraded from a P 1.8ELX Brava which I stuffed into a hedge on an icey road!
Sorted Some Stuff:
* New rear wiper motor (shop4parts - v.good) mine had seized and I snapped the motor stem when trying to free-it-up!
* New clutch, mine was noisey - could play a tune by applying and releasing the clutch peddle.
* New clutch slave cylinder - fluid light on (topped-up), then noticable patch of fluid on drive (will get it sorted) then no clutch (opps - get it towed now)!
* Full service and new engine pan (it didn't have one on it).
Still need to Sort Some Stuff:
* Radio that is fuzzy on FM band - don't think it switches to mono FM?
* sunroof that jams half open and has a flappy sunscreen?
* A silent alarm - no beeps on setting, no alarm (only lights) on alarming - although it did beep when I set it once on a very hot day!?
* A driver seat that has popped it's material cover - just need to loop the cover back into the frame.
Wanna Buy Some bits:
* CD Changer (on order from add-a-changer).
* Wheels and tyres (working out sizes etc at the mo).
Then thinking about tarting it up proper - I have got a lot of good ideas from all your good photos here
It's a dream to drive, wonderful roar and shifts when you need it
Hopefully be dropping in again soon
