Numerous problems with car pre 2007/08 facelift. Anything from updated AC drain plug, wich in the older models will eventually flood your car. Nice removing all seats and carpet to dry.
New transmission mount.
Faulty ECM electronic control module etc etc.
The 1,8 petrol is way underpowered and gussles fuel like there is no tomorrow.
On my pre facelift I`ve spent 12000 pounds in repairs the last 2 years. My car is a T5 though. Still ****.
