  1. You're asking of a 21 year old car,. The car was awailable with a multitude of options and accessories,. had a face lift mid way through it's life. looks good from any angle with pinifarinna design. aQ: where are you looking to get the car from? SL market models are only station wagon and saloon. rhd manual with 1.4 petrol + diesel.
  2. It's not safe to be drivingthis vehicle with a steering issue. What will happen if the steering gets stuck after a u turn?
  3. HI AND WELCOME TO AL.? Two words,.. Used Car. the very words send shivers through my spine.Having said that,countless motorists call them daily drives. But for your budget, you'll get a usable car with lots of work to do. Be prepared to spend a little , get nu tyres, go to a trusted mechanical garage and get a full checkup. and get the car insured before putting it on the road,.. Wish you good luck and happy motoring. !? TT.
  4. Have you checked the reflectors and lenses? TT. \
  5. Don't mix European cars with japs.You're comparing apples with oranges,..

  9. Hi, and welcome,.. Good choice. but the car is over a decade old. No matter what you get you'll need to do neglected/missed repares/maintenance. Good luck with your car,..
  10. You may also have a blown alternator
  11. Hello and welcome,. Your car is 16 years old,. the damages and wear and tare of the age and milage of the car maybe showing,.. change the ATF at 40k intervals along with the filter and use a good quality ATF. Wish you long and enjoyable motoring,.. TT.

    Engine shaking

    Hi and welcome,.. when was the last time you changed the spark plugs, air filter ,and cleaned the injectors? TT.
  15. If you want good efficiency in city running, choose a manual, and get the smaller engine, but drive gently.
  16. You may have an intermittant fault with your Air flow sensor.
  17. like Crosswind 's reply, Possible with a sunny rolling down hill with the A/c off. ? Or get a diesel vannet. But when our driving conditions are factored in, , Good luck,.. Your efficiency needs are possible in reality with econo cars with tiny engines.
  18. Should come to factory settings/programming even if the battery was dis connected. Ask your grease monkey to shut it and drive into the sun set.
  19. Bro, If you drive with a lead foot with the A/c on max yo u can't expect record-breakingefficiency can you? and have you considerd the accuracy of your local fuel station,?
  20. When the car stalls next, without cranking it again, park in a safe placeand open the fuel cap. Tell us your observations. TT.
  21. After stalling, does the car start and run normally till the end of your journey ?
  22. Hi and welcome to AL. For longer life of said insulation, dont wash or even get it wet. The pic don't look too bad if you ask me.☺️ There is no factory equipment replacement. Therfore, keep the originality of the car by doing nothing,.. or risk making your car look like it got submerged in a flood.? Cheers, TT.
  23. And don't get caught to an enterprising mechanic, for he'll get you to overhaul the engine prematurely.
  24. I'd get a car with at least a dis functional dealer.?
