I believe it's chain-driven, so no expensive cambelts to worry about this time. It's a Nissan unit IIRC.

They seem pretty strong cars, including the gearbox. The only issues i've heard of are after having remaps from anyone other than RS Tuning in Leeds.

I've heard a few little electric glitches here and there, but not really faults as such. I think most of the car is predominantly a Nissan tbh.

If you want to get it mapped btw, Paul at RS Tuning can get them to around 240 bhp and running pretty spot on without any issue or other hardware. The difference is night and day, so i've heard.

Had mine a year and it's been solid - no issues at all and it's done 12k.

The only minor things are a few rattles in the dashboard that I haven't been able to fix. I need a dry weekend to sort them out but that hasn't happened yet!
