Had my car (2002 172) nearly six month now and i've had the following problems:

1. Speedo gearbox sensor broke.
2. Air Con resister pack broke.
3. Offside ball-joint gone.
4. Radiator packed in (Also needed import car kit to fit it)
5. Needed the readio code.
6. Battery problems.
7. Gearstick gaitor.
8. Manifold to cat replaced.

As well as these I had:

1. RS Tuning Cam-belt and 48k service.
2. K-Tec stealth exhaust.
3. K-Tec rear exhaust mount.

It failed its MOT the other week on emissions and Ball Joint - but my manifold to cat kit had popped before the MOT.

All in all, in the six months i've had it, it has cost me nearly £1,600 and I still need to get it through its MOT.

But I do love driving it!!!!!

LOL.

Mines been as bad. The current job list would cost me about 2k at Reno as its due a cambelt service.

Jees, has made me wonder whether it is worth all this shelling out. Haven't had a month yet where I've had my wage to myself and actually bought something for the car I want.

I look at it in this way, I got the car at a bargain so I think i've paid what it should have been worth.

Next month my car tax is due!!!!
