The only failures that have halted the Mk2 Jazzes we had were radiator leaks. Herself's went when the car was about 8 years old and mine when it was 12 (a couple of months after I'd sold it).Ah, those indispensable tins of Radweld. Happy days!

Then he switched to a Datsun Cherry and stuck with Japanese cars ever since.
Nah. Oh look a typewriter. I remember those. You could buy twin coloured ribbon, and sometimes you had to clean fluff from the type letters.And do you remember carbon paper .... Sorry Jazzik the possibilities are endless. ;D
Enjoyed the trips down memory lane though!
Here Leyland Princess had the worst reputation regarding the quality of design and manufacturing. But yes, Morris Marina was close to that as well.
Drive shaft snapped when i attempted to join a roundabout, mk2 jazz. Nothing else other than that painful one.IIRC driveshafts (or one of them) has an intentional weak point so that under excessive stress it fails first, thus protecting less easily replaced internal gears etc. I have heard of cars (not Jazz) breaking drive shafts when driven off a kerb. One wheel goes airborne for a short time and spins rapidly building up momentum and torque, which is suddenly halted when the wheel lands.
