Picking it up today with a new engine.

For all their reputation for reliability I have been left grossly disapointed.

In summary

New rear shocks
New Ignition Cartridge
New Oil Cooler
New Turbo
New SID
New Components on Power steering
New door handle
New engine (failed oil pump at 70 on motorway - coast to stop in 30 seconds - engine dead, not much warning there then)

Had the car three years and done 90000. Bought at 17500 and now at 109000.

Supposedly these machines are good for 250,000 miles.

Not mine, thank god for AA parts and labour.
