    Thumbs down How many problems....

    Everytime I buy a car I never know how long im gonna keep them so I always instantly do a full Valet the plugs, filters and fluids.

    How ever with this car it's been one problem after another and I've only had it since Oct!

    For instant:
    • Snapped fuel pipe.
    • snapped fuel pump nipple.
    • Seat belt needed replacing.
    • Clutch.
    • Clutch slave cylinder
    • Passanger seat kept sliding forward.
    • Endless bulbs
    • Aux Belt
    • Drivers wing mirror
      Whining from either PAS or tentioner All totalling around £650!!! - more then I paid for the car!


    Just wondering if you have had problem after problem like me and if so what...

    wow, if a car costs 650 quid you can't expect it to be perfect can you?

    i drive a gt3, had it for 6 months. admittidly i drive it hard sometimes and nothing has gone wrong with it. always started first time, drives perectly fine and pulls very well, idle isn't perfect, but what gt doesn't?

    i paid £1600

    Maybe you should just invest in a bus pass, will end up cheaper

    I totally agree, however my knowledge on these cars was minimal and if you had seen the rotten leaking fuel filter it probably would of happened to you.

    As said above, when you buy a cheap GT, expect problems. Hell, even a more expensive well looked after GT can cause grief. One thing i dont miss about owning a GT, spending a fortune either repairing or maintaining it and a lot of my spare time

    Yes it is indeed.

    No car costs nothing to run. Some just cost more than others.
