Read Honest John's report : I was responsible for some of the input. Car by Car breakdown

You need some record of maintenance: stamped book or invoices..

Front discs wear.

Drop link bushes wear.

Turbos can whine as can gearboxes.

Wind noise over 65mph - driver's door.

Apart from discs and dop link bushes my second hand one has been fault free.

Not had any significant issues with this car so far, just little niggles here and there :)

The only bugbears I currently have is that the brackets in my engine bay seem to be very prone to rust, and the front alloys are corroding like crazy (Not from kerb damage; The paint is bubbling and peeling off from the back of the spokes outward! I suspect dust from the brake discs has been eating away at the back of the alloys).

I'd love to get the fronts powder coated, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere nearby that does it round here :(

Mr T have quoted me £50/wheel for a stripdown/primer/paint/copper shim refurb 'tho so I may do that because the amount of corrosion on those alloys is freaking me out!
