Glovebox release button- replaced with item from scrap yard.
Rear coil spring broke-easy fix
Diff' starting to hum.
The car is impressive on the motorway, very smooth & quiet, one barely discernable squeak, not bad for 200k.
It handles like nothing else I've driven included numerous hot hatches, it just hangs on, the turn in very rapid, but secure and when the back breaks away it's very predictable.
Seats are shocking... mine are leather & they are far too wide, you slide about during even the most tame of cornering (I'm 6ft 3!)
Engine needs revving, but once over 3500rpm it makes up for it's slug like nature prior to that.
Generally the car is a 'head buy' rather than a 'heart buy' it's practical & relatively quick, but ultimately doesn't excite unless you hammer it everywhere.
As an update - I'm now 3 years into ownership and it's been a rocky - the list is: New brakes pipes all round, new back plates (they rusted through resulting in the parking brake shoes jamming on when I was on the motorway), new head gasket, 2 new wishbones, new thermostat, new temperature switch, new rear springs. This doesn't include consumables.
I have been thoroughly dissapointed with this car, the feeling of quality remains whilst the rest just falls to bits.
