"Expensive toy"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Door seals at 115,000miles

rear seat belts

front shocks 155,000miles

new automatic gearbox at 122,000miles.

General comments?

Nice big car with good panoramic view smooth ride lot of space for family of 5 and converts to nice van when needed. 2.0 8v engine is a bit slow and heavy on the juice especially when we went to wales up the valleys, I think a metro over took me a one point. and only got 300miles to the tank.

Shocks changed at 155000 miles with a car that indicates only 122000 miles...bravo. Anyway, what you note is usual wear and tear at this mileage. Next time buy a persian flying carpet.

Automatic trasmission is always more fragile. You bought a 115000 miles old vehicle, was the trasmission serviced periodically and correctly? Shocks in a usual vehicules have to be changed every 40-70 thousand miles so its completely normal you had to change them (155000 miles is probabaly a mistake, you mean 115000 miles?). The only problem you had is the door seals...that's not much. An the ash tray is working correctly???
