Very hard to replace the front speakers in their current mountings on the dashboard.
Automatic Transmission worn out.
Lock up torque converter not locking (slips).
Air mass sensor faulty.

Fuel pump noisy.
General comments?
Great handling on both dirt and sealed roads.
Good pickup for a 3 litre. (130km/hr in second gear)
Even better high end speed (196km/hr and that's with standard engine modifications and an Automatic)
Steering is super light and great to drive with.
