they are very old, u really should be replacing things that aren't broken yet, as they will probably soon. Once this is done, it shouldnt give u any bother.

ive had mine 9 years and only had to replace a clutch and a burnt wire to the fuel relay, and rebuild the backend due to some idiot running into it and mines ben running 200bhp for 7 of these years and was a daily runner for the first 6 years.
Just as reliable as any other car in my case guess ive been lucky

there not that bad to be honest just require more attention than most, when it goes wrong upgrade or improve- its the only way it'll become better and more reliable imo lol
