the cooling fan wiring can melt which inturn knackers the heated screen wiring, heater wiring and ignition barrel although there is a quick mod that can be done to the wiring to prevent this
the power steering pumps can fail and are quite costly
the pedals are far to close together and everytime i drive one i hit all 3 pedals at once
i find the seat is too near to the middle of the car and not in a good position for the steering wheel
they are uncomfortable to live with
the gearboxes are chocolate as are the diffs
and to top it off they are french and made by cheese eating surrender monkeys
