Im not!

bring on the cossie powerd project!

 

Doo, how many miles have you actually done in your 6 months of ownership

 

Valid point!, bet ive done less than 1000 mile since i got mine

 

Around 3000 miles

 

so your impressed that your car lasted 3000 miles without incident?

what a joker

 

Had my car 6 months and up to now ive mullered
Quaife front diff
Coopers ring head gasket
T4 turbo
Alloy radiator
4 x tyres
Not to mention the R+D gearbox ive fitted

 

yes mate i am impressed most of thoses miles the car has been driven hard inc a 800 mile trip to le mans and back and TBH i was expecting things to go wrong

most of me mates who got cosy spend more time being fixed than they get to drive them

Just look above at what as gone wrong with a few peeps cosy bet they had not done much more than 3000 miles if that

All i am saying is that most peeps reckon there unrelable you get probs all the time

 

heres my story.

brought the car. got the engine done.

full respray. new wheels, new suspension, you name it, its new.

got pics of all.

what the?

damn the cossie.

 

my point is that 3000 miles can barely be classed as reliable.

if you do 10k with no problems then it would be IMO. (i bet even new cossies had trouble with this!)

 

Got mine 2.5 years ago

After 40 miles of ownership the tensioner stripped out of the head, bending all the valves and damaging all the pistons - complete rebuild approx £1700

New MAP sensor, dizzy cap & rotor arm to fix intermitant misfire

One of my cams came loose while gunning it, luckly i stopped in time. Turns out the studs stripped out a bit in there too.

Radiator fuse kept melting, had to re wire the whole lot.

Now i've got 2 snapped exhaust manifold studs flush with the head which is why it's dead at the moment.

I use it for work (when it's going) and have done 15k in the 2.5 years, the car itself is showing 131k on the clock.

I'd say you have been lucky but you don't do enough miles to worry too much mate

Cheers,

Dave
