I had a diesel series 3. The only thing more cruse were the jokes in the school rugby team.
Me too. Cheapest motoring I have ever had. Parts were very cheap and, usually, very easy to fit.
Which is just as well considering how often you need them. Drive one of those and it will make the Morgan ride and suspension seem like a plush limousine.
Not to mention the water leaks and drafts, My Series 3 had an irritating habit when it rained. After being out in heavy rain, it maintained an illusion of being water tight until the first roundabout. At which point it would empty some void in the bulkhead directly into my left shoe - and it was very accurate, always filling the shoe.
