Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Minor niggly problem with very uneven tickover (especially in very cold or very hot weather) which has avoided all attempts at correction. Otherwise it's a cracker - 45mpg and performance to boot!
Other
Only major problem in 4 yrs and 50k miles has been failure of alternator - must be something very special because it was expensive! All enquiries for quotes resulted in a very sharp intake of breath!
