broken crank, I surely doubt it. the 1600 engines spit the dummy at about 90k on, don't know about the 2 litre engines . If they gave you the car would be worth doing

The only place that's good for these cars are in the recyclers or at the end of a anchor chain.why would anyone in their right minds even consider this garbage.
