Radiator had to be replaced after developing a major leak.
Fuel tank cradle fell off (luckily at low speed)
Speedometer replaced due to needle very unstable.
1 electric window motor not working.
Central locking only works on 2 doors.
Boot lock no longer working.
1 rear door handle stopped working.
Air conditioning hasn't worked since I had the car.
Bad earth on rear indicators.
Usual suspects (exhaust, battery, heater plugs)
With the list of things that have gone wrong you might think I'd be unhappy with the car. Actually a lot of the faults (C/L E/W A/C Speedo needle) were already present when I bought the car, and enabled me to negotiate a very good price.
I bought a second car for £30 which I have cannibalised for spares, and so have been able to rectify most of the original faults and some of the subsequent ones for next to nothing.
The only fault which has really been a costly problem was the fuel tank dropping off.
I'm very impressed with the comfort & ride of the car. For such a big estate it can really go when you want it to.
The auto box is very smooth, as good as the Range Rover I used to have.
Fuel economy has been excellent for such a big vehicle, around 30mpg on average with 4 kids & 2 adults on board.
It might not be in tip top condition, but it's been dependable, comfortable & cheap.
A solution to your central locking problem. Spray large amounts of CRC/RP7 down into the lock wells. This can be done from where the buttons protrude. It may take a while, but should find your central locking back to normal.
