What goes wrong then?

[350matt]

Hello all I'm thinking about buying an early 4.2 Cerbie (all I can afford) and I was wondering if people could tell me what goes wrong with these cars. I currently own a wedge and so I'm used to the odd niggle but have yet to have anything (touch wood) which will has left me stranded, can I expect the same? Or do the cars need upgrading from standard? Also as I work in an engineering firm I could easily make pieces to replace those which could do with beefing up a bit. And will happily knock out few if others have a need to solve a common problem. Ta Matt
