I have got a 95 sri and it has done 112,000 miles. I rag the arse off it and have never had any problems except having to put a new clutch in about 1500 miles ago | |

the 1.4 8v engines will do 200k looked after with regular oil and filter change and a timing belt every 40k | |

Anyone know of any problems that the 1.4 8v's are prone to? My cars done 130,000miles ran like a sweetie when i got it done an oil change and i'm just gettin round to doing a timing belt it started making a tapping noise after bootin it on the motorway (put it down to the tappets) then when me and the girlfriend met up with a couple of friends tonite i booted the car really hard to keep up with my mates Rover 218Vi and the engine just died, we had to push it to get started, i've had a few probs starting it checked the battery it's fine the alternator has a bad bearing but it's chargin the battery ok, we cant figure what the problem is any of you's got a clue what could be wrong??? |
