as per carlo... leaks from top of front screen.
was looking at one for the mrs - the peugeot dealer said that for a while the official factory fix was to use mastic to seal it.
something to do with the rubber seal beign too hard/poor design led to huge water leak problems. he said you get the odd one that's fine but generally they're terrible for it.

coil packs fail, circa £100 for a reasonable one, £80 for a cheap one.
oil filters are easy to change, unless they fall apart.
anti-roll bar links on front wear out, rear brake callipers can go faulty on the handbrake mechanism-barely work and then need stripping/replacing.
does depend on engine, but body wise the roof leaking is an issue.

Bugger me if the Walker one is better made the standard one must be shocking

I know 2 girls that have had them, both leaked like mad, one broke down twice in the first 6 months and other just burst into flames on her driveway for no apparent reason
