its only done 64k, seems to have been well looked after too, the front fogs refuse to work, the cambelt auto tensioner failed, the speedo is very intermittent, and the needle doesnt light up, the cat blocked up so took it out, its still running really rich, it sometimes hestates the other times its fine, ive lost reverse gear, the front speakers dont work, the immoiliser packed up so i had that removed, the alarm randomly goes off, i had no end of trouble sorting the exhaust ut on it, i put a new stainles system on it, a few days later it broke the hanger bracket on the down pipe, leaving a massive hole, its doing my nut in! my landrover is less trouble!
