There are also a lot of niggly design faults with the 75 that can cause an FTP situation and others that cause water ingress into the boot - not by the usual methods but via the trim strips on the side of the car.

Also the ECU is mounted in the engine bay in a plenum that often fills with water - the drain is under the ECU and often fills with leaves and other debris.

I've always found them a "Marmite car", you love them or hate them.
... perhaps I'd better do some research before buying one because I like the look of it!
