Anyway, the car would make this funny knocking sound when turning right. So when we left my house I instructed him to turn left at the end of the street. In fact I managed to get him to go on a huge loop back to my house, with not a single right turn. He bought the car, and never heard from him again. Crappy though it was, probably better than all the others he'd looked at
It only needed a pot joint, probably on the nearside. The Nissan Sunny was one of the best cars on the road. It could be abused no end and just kept going and going, a bit like the MKII Escort from Ford.
I rarely had one in the Garage for any major repairs, just servicing, normal running costs and the odd bit of welding for the MOT.
I seem to remember the factory brake pipes were crap, but once changed for the copper cunifer, they were on for the life of the car. The engine was bullet proof, providing it was serviced properly.
