Faults:

Fuel tank had a leak when car was purchased (however, I wasn't told about it). Fuel leaked when tank was filled to top and quarter of petrol drained out. Tank had 1mm hole caused by rust. Tank needed replacing.

Engine would not idle when cold when vehicle was acquired. Required cold start valve replacement.

Rev counter, fuel economy indicator don't work.

Drivers window, rear left passengers electric windows don't work.

Low coolant indicator is constantly on, no matter if there is plenty of coolant.

Engine temperature indicator inaccurate, always shows temperature as being over half way when in fact it is normal.

General Comments:

Now all the major problems have been fixed, I love this car. It still has a few little things that are annoying but aren't important (rev counter, drivers window, etc). It does cost a fair bit to run but its worth it I think. It's a lovely car to drive and looks great.

Faults:

Not a lot, I had the engine re-built, blueprinted, balanced, tuned and fitted with lots of modified parts when I first got the car so there was basically very few old parts on the car to give me trouble (mechanically speaking)

General Comments:

The car is a gem to drive, the turbo is fantastic, it runs like a rocket, drinks a bit of fuel, but that's OK as it has lots of grunt.

The car has all race parts as said above including the engine being re-done totally from the ground up, power chip, new exhaust system (modified one), 17" alloy wheels, Pirelli rubber (brilliant stuff), strong brakes, re-spray in hot red, stripped of back seats (less weight) + much, much more... to much to list, this car is just a beast of a car to own and to drive.

Faults:

Ex Uk car imported to NZ in 1995 with 55,000 mls, it was the best car I've owned. Problem with the clutch - put down to 'one of those things considering the age'.

General Comments:

I allowed my girl friend to drive one day, we discovered that even BMW's are no match for power poles at 100 km/h!! So watch them in the wet. We didn't quite walk away but survived ok. If you remember that "chicks can't drive BMW's" you'll be OK!! If you need further proof watch the movie called "Ronin".
