First fault to go wrong was an ABS sensor,
Followed by the alarm sensors failing causing the alarm to keep going off,
Key pad imobiliser failed, luckily failled whilst demobilised.
Fan switched failed casing overheating.
Last fault was a sever fault which was a fuel line leak which caused the car to catch fire which was sadly the end of the cars life.
First thing that impressed me was he sheer smoothness of the suspensinion, although this did causes the car to have a bit too much body roll when taking corners at speed. For a 1.8 the gear box had a lot of tourqe and acceleration in 4th and 5th gears I oftern found my self not needing to down shift prior to overtaking on counry roads. I like the grown up styling the car had without being boring or old fashioed. The key pad imobiliser sytem
is a pain when diving about doing odd jobs parking up for two ticks returning to the car in a hurry and having to reenter the pin each time. Alcanta seas are a must have beter than leather in my opinion.
Vis-a-vis the keypad immobilizer, there is a trick that I play with mine, and on the ZX I had before it. Key in the pin number to 'unlock' it, then prise the keypad out from the housing and pull the plug. Bingo... the lights on the dash will still flash, but you never have to key in the pin again. Very handy if you do lots of stopping and starting!
