I think the metro/Maestro/Montego both petrol and diesels were very reliable cars. Sure the O series and the diesel used to seep oil but that was about it!! Much more reliable than the Fords and Subarus that my Mother and step father used to buy.

Actually, just remembered the time I did a service/repair on an old Montego, bought it in, put it on a ramp, pressed the brake pedal hard and BANG!! O/S/F brake hose burst!!! How lucky was the owner!!
