Faults:

Electrics, wiring, wiper motor, electrics, electric windows, fuel pump wiring, lights, headlamp motors, electrics, ignition circuitry, wiring... get the picture?

Used to eat track rod ends, due to a problem with the steering system.

Still leaks, even with new quarterlight frames, hood, and seals.

Smokes at idle. Spent loads trying to fix but it always comes back.

General Comments:

Has been much more reliable since I stopped taking it to a main dealer for regular (3000 mile) servicing. I don't think it likes being tinkered with.

Extremely fast, and holds corners far beyond my own limits (at least in the dry). Can't imagine finding better performance for the money.

Great fun, but make sure your breakdown membership is up to date!
