baught the car im the second owner. 03 euro 90xxxkms .
driveshaft cracked, get a noise like a nail is stuck in my tyre
all the head unit contorls and radio controls stopped working. had to replace the dash. still under warrenty.
fuel pump ground snapped off
numerous dead battereys :(
and just brake pads lol.
My 04 Standard 5AT is approaching 90K. In its life it's had:
Wandering at speed (design fault - live with);
The front disk rotors replaced (warped - my cost);
Noisy steering when turning at parking speeds (which turned out to be split power steering high pressure hoses - warranty);
Blown aircon circuit breaker (which was due to ozone loving ants in the breaker - warranty);
Tramlining (which was fixed by fitting 205/50R17 tyres instead of 225/45R17 - my cost);
Broken centre console lid (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Warped and squeaky front disk brakes (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Three shock absorbers seized spontaneously at around 85K (four replaced - warranty); and
The paint has seen better days (wife now drives and parks my car - explains the dents too).
I suppose i should comment on the problems i have had.
Purchased Brand New July 2008
Sunroof seal badly sun damaged on pickup - replaced under warranty
Wiper blades stuffed on pickup - replaced under warranty
Drivers seat squeeking loudly - replaced under warranty
Rear LHS door seal hanging off - fixed myself
Clutch creaking - fixed myself
Glovebox did not sit flush - replaced under warranty
Rattling front & right door trims - attempted fix under warranty - no good

I've seen this in 3 euros that i've been in. Its really annoying to look at! Anyway to fix it?Quote:

damn. hoping for a DIY.
Rough idle upon cold start up. Car shakes quite a bit when put into gear after allowing the car to warm up for 1 minute. Idle then settles after a few minutes when the engine has warmed up. Not fixed. Have to leave car overnight at dealers and that's just not convenient at the moment.
