Anyone owned one, what are the pitfalls?

Many Thanks

Auto g/box coding plug leaks, If its the older style 4 cyl engine (170 i think) check the wiring for the variable cam magnet on the front of the engine as these tend to leak into the loom and then track the loom to the o2 sensor and eventually to the g/box control unit.

Generally speaking its a decent car.

I changed my mind on the engine code, I think the old one is a 111 and the later 4 cyl petrol is a 270
