Hi,
I just bought a Streetwise after my old car was written off by a ride on lawnmower. 2004, 1.4 petrol, green 3 door, 61000 miles with a year's MOT. So far it seems a good little car, I haven't had a chance to drive it much yet, but I'll be taking it from Bracknell to Portsmouth this weekend so we'll see how it does then. There are a few little problems as you'd expect for a 20 something year old car, but they seem easy fixes, the cigarette lighter socket didn't work, that was just a fuse, the heater blower only worked on 3 and 4, that was a resistor pack, I got one for £9 off eBay, the drivers door drop glass clamp must be loose because it comes out of its guides if I let it down too far, I'm sure that'll be easy enough to tighten, I've just got to get the door card off, and there's a bunch of wires from the car to the tailgate top right, they're all chewed up, the brake light and wiper still work but the central locking boot doesn't. Again, I'll have to get the tailgate trim off to get to those wires. It's had a scrape down the side which will need sorting out and I got 2 keys but only one fob and I've since found it will only start with the fob near the key so I need to try and get a spare. It seems to have been looked after, the oil is golden and all the fluid reservoirs are nice and see through, the inside is in good condition apart from the edge of the drivers seat is worn. Hopefully I'll get a good few miles out of it.
Steve.
