Gearbox bearing gone (£750 for a reconditioned gearbox).
CV joints.
Rear suspension.
Not bad looking and handling is not too bad although the ride height is quite high so it does roll quite a lot.
The thing squeaks like hell. On long journeys the radio must be turned up or else you'll go mad.
However it is the fastest non-turboed beast that you can buy so floor it in a straight line and you forget about the squeaks.
It also comes with central locking and electric windows as standard. So you've got to weigh up the pros and cons.
Why buy a replacement gearbox for the same amount as the car is worth?
Get it lowered, it makes the car look amazing and puts a stop to all that body roll. Handling will also be much improved.
