"Hi Stephen, I'm in Wicklow Town so very close to Arklow, let me know if you're in the vacinity.So they all leak oil to some degree, it's a 'feature' if it's a drop then not to worry but if it's excessive then it may need attention - give it a good…"

"Hiya Niall. Just put the ad for the car there. All I know is it's 1970, Mk 3, first registered in 1971. 4-speed gearbox. I had thought it was 1500cc, but it now appears to be 1300. I don't mind.....it still goes well. Tyres are certainly not…"
