Starter motor solenoid (bad connection).
Alternator not charging.
Clutch (general wear).
Battery.
Air box.
Tapping from the top of the engine.
Head gasket (just gone, driven too hard).
Bad starter.
Exhaust mid section snapped and scraping.
Smooth car, looks the bees knees with RS body kit, RS alloys, RS bonnet, RS spoiler, uprated interior, white dials etc.. Big Bore 2 exhaust sounds more gutsy than it is, RS alloys 15"
could be bigger, for fast road use uprated suspension would be necessary, standard air filter changed to Jetex performance filter, but to no advantage, original air box refitted. Steering responsive and the car rides OK if a little bouncy at high speed.... 120mph+ easy...
Your speedo must be wrong because they do 112 MPH and no more unless you modify the engine. I know this because because my one did 130 after spending loads of money.
Sounds like you all like wasting money on small engines? If you want performance, go for the 2.9i Granada, it's big, mean looking and you don't have to stick all that rubbishy looking imitation RS body crap all over it!
