Not a lot can go wrong with this car as it's built like a battleship.
I've had a few problems with the air conditioning and one door rubber, plus a fuel pump is noisy, but if you keep it regularly serviced by a good mechanic, all should be OK.
Cam belt a must to keep an eye on.
Engine can be a bit noisy.
Fast car for a 4 seater weighing 1 1/2 tons.
Heavy clutch & gears make changing a bit slow.
Stunning performance, but don't forget it has a fuel cut off at 6300 revs. to stop you blowing the engine.
Top speed around 145 mph.
0-60 in around 7 seconds.
Get some good treads & it handles well.
A very safe car even when driven to its limits, but watch out for the light steering.
Ere. - I think you'll find that there is no cambelt. It is a chain.
RPM cut off 6300?
You may have the wrong Fuel Pump Relay.
Stock Euro Cut off should be about 7000rpm
Stock US cut off is 6800rpm.
Once I owned a manual 23 16 & crashed, then, I have many other cars. Now, I owned another one again because it is so great after experience with all other cars.

I managed 175 MPH (indicated) in Germany - I have a 2.3 and I love it... This has to be the best value quality car around. Watch for rust at the rear of the floor pan.
Just bought a 2.3 cosworth collect in 5 days can't wait!!!
For the guy who says 175mph out of a 2.3 cosworth (it's a car not a time machine!!) 175Kph that's a bit more like it.
