The gearbox has just started jumping out of first gear.
The petrol tank has a hole in it.
I had to get the brake lines replaced along with the very expensive rear brake discs (which have an integrated hub).
Drivers electric window works intermittently, sunroof doesn't work.
This car is seriously quick, that turbo boost is fantastic! This also means that the fuel consumption is lamentable, I got about 25mpg on a good run and usually that was nearer 20mpg.
The car was very comfortable inside with excellent inflatable lumbar and side supports in the drivers seat, the driving position was fairly low and reclined too which I like. The interior is very spacious.
Looking back this car was a bad buy, but I saw somewhat naive in gauging how much was actually wrong with the car. I got her for £250 and have probably spent another £1000 over last 8 months and have now decided to cut my losses and get something, more reliable & practical, but not half as much fun - a ford orion.
Mr. Jackson, The turbo won't let you down! I bought my all black saloon zx turbo for under £500, they are out there, perhaps you just got a bad apple! keep the rice burning.
