Take a search on the forum, you'll find a lot of common issues that way.

Most common faults seem to be door leaks and failing MAF's.

Other than that, a brilliant choice of car. The newer models (130/150) have PD engines which are a lot faster, have 6-Speed boxes and remap better too :)

yeah the one im going to look at has had the seals replaced by SEAT at a cost of £400 odd.

Cambelt changed, recent service, 88k on the clock, sat nav, front armrest, on a 02 plate

HPi'd it, and its clean, just got to go and check it out on wednesday
