Engine Very loud... sounds like a Land Rover... shame it's not as fast as a Land Rover. Gearbox Clutch has a mind of it's own. Sometimes smooth, other times not. Other Electrics weak, mostly due to water leaking in. Rev counter not working. Engine cuts out sometimes due to another mystery electrical problem. Ownership Did you buy the car new?
