1. The heater was only working on max speed (was fixed an hour after we were supposed to drive the car away). 2. The rev counter jammed twice (temp fix & then new rev counter under warranty) 3. Rough Idling (exhaust manifold runners, was told off for not having enough fuel in the tank for the tech to run tests, the garage had to put £10 of fuel in the car) 4.

Both front brake disc's were badly corroded on the inside by one inch on both sides.
