Workhorse

Used for UK mortorway, European long distance trips and rural driving. Delivers for all. Still going strong for 13 years; in the main very reliable with a couple of expensive lapses. Engine sensor replaced and bonnet lock jammed. After 10 years brakes partly seized. Was worth the cost to repair as feels reliable and will keep until drops.
