Considering the price its going well, only had to put oil init when we bought it other then that its surprisingly quick and economical, only annoying thing is there's no interior light for the back seats :roll: and the reverse lights don't work.

Had to replace both headlight globes at once! the low beams were dead. I swear they were both running when I pulled in 2 days ago, cause I saw them against a wall.

Spent an hour on it, first checking the relay, then tracing wires and checking continuity, just because I didn't think they would both die at the same time. I've just done a big day, 500 miles on horrendous roads through Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania took me all day and half the night. Perhaps the vibrations did em in together.

Fitted a new brake light bulb, might get some LEDs to replace them all :?

Also, bought a cheapo heater before it starts getting too cold
