CV joints required replacement twice during my period of ownership.
All suspension bushes wore out and required replacement.
Alternator packed up.
Transmission required rebuild.
Temperature gauge would not always work.
A very well finished vehicle, a pleasure to drive, handles the road very well, a very safe car.
Engine performance is not too bad either.
Fuel economy very poor for a 2 litre.
Spare parts horrendously expensive, even second hand. That is, if the parts are even available at all.
I have an A 80 E. I love it, but the transmission has just packed up. Anyone out there in the UK knows how I can get hold of a transmission. I don't want to rebuild or scrap. Archerfrak@aol.com. RSVP asap.
