Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Other
Wishbones are poor design and bushes wear easily. Engine is underpowered and strangled by small valves, but can be improved by fitting 1.8 throttle body assembly which is a straight fit. K&N 57i induction kit helps, as does a Powerflow stainless exhaust.
