General Weekender model difference

[gregdds]

Hi guys,

just a quick one here. i have been given a Marea weekender 1.8 ELX (i think its a ELX), can anyone please tell me the difference between the weekender and a non-weekender. Also, if anyone could tell me the main problems with this model i would much appreciate it.

Thanks very much

Hi the Weekender as you call it is a model called the Weekend and it is an estate car. you need to know when the timing belt was last changed

 

[gregdds]

............ many thanks for that. Will check when the belt was changed. The last owner had the car from new

Main problems with the weekend is a non-functioning rear wiper, and a sticking boot latch. They're pretty much problem free other than that.

Oh, that seems pretty good!!do you know roughly how many miles to the gallon?many thanks

is it a 20v?

be looking at 25-30mpg if you drive sensibly, 15-18mpg is you drive with your foot on the floor
