The car was loosing Anti - Freeze, it needed topping up every 350 miles.
New steering rack needed at 12000 miles, unfortunately you cannot replace certain parts on the 156, you have to replace the whole thing.
Front door handle stick.
Leaking sunroof.
The car sticks to the road like it is on rails, especially now it has had its new steering rack fitted.
Although it has had it's fault, I think I am finally there, High performance vehicle with looks to make any BMW, Mercedes or Porsche driver take a sneaky look as you power past them on the motorway!!
The vehicle has now done 17,000 and is going in again on the 25th September to have another new steering rack fitted - carry on at this rate and I reckon it will be averaging 4 steering racks a year - dealer service so far has been better than last time - we shall see!!
Other problems that have occurred since I wrote this original report - brake pedal seizing up, boot spring gave way, enabling the large boot spoiler to crack the rear windscreen and the fuse box cover falls off so often I made decision to super glue it on - hope a fuse doesn't go!!
Although performance and looks continue to be outstanding, I do have to ask myself - is it time for me to, but a BMW???
