im driving a "luxury" car because its very difficult to enjoy life behind a steering wheel once you have owned a series 8 rx7. cars done nearly 200xxxkms mate, i think its an issue in the main fuse box or that wiring in the engine bay but thats beyond my level. thanks for asking!

Thanks genius. So the new actuators I put in two months ago that are now malfunctioning are due to be done again.

Cheers for your input

Rinsing the engine?

Actuators are the worst pos's.

I just bought a set of actuators just to be ready. I've already replaced my front driver's and rear passenger actuators. Note that the rear actuators are different to the front. Bloody expensive too the rears.

Also replaced my accessory belt tensioner, accessory belt multiple times, and other wear and tear items such as brake pads and rotors. Other than that, knock wood, so far so good.

Next is to sand down my headlights and reapply the UV protection coating before it turns yellow.

I think in general, I've found that you purchase a Toyota if you want to keep it 15-20 years, you go for Honda/Mazda/Suzuki if you want to keep it 10-15 years, you go Falcodore if you want to keep it 5 years, and you go Alfa/French if you want a lot of heartache.

just buy a car with no electronics. New cars these days will break down easier - so you can buy more new cars. No manufacturer will make things last these days so everything is built as cheap as possible with intent to only last as long as the warranty before shit hits the fan. Any jap car in the 90's and early 2000 era will last 20 years where built-to-last was in mind - those creators have now been fired or retired.

true, its just a shame its electronics- something slightly beyond most diyers

lol I agree with this. My dad is an Alfaholic. Bought a red 2005 Alfa Romeo GT a couple of years ago.

He has since spent at least $7000 on repairs.

I'm just saying I don't know your feels bro. Take it easy, have another mimosa, and change your actuators. Mines 2005 and done 140,000+kms. Have not needed to replace anything yet. Touch wood.
