Leaking sunroof, burns oil for fun and the suspension is knocking. Soon to be added (71k) Clutch, drums and shoes are still original from new.
S4, Tamora, Conti GT
Catalytic Converter is falling to bits, all the bits are rattling round the centre section of my yozza, makes it sound well...... Horrible

Nothing. Its amazing.
Leaky sump gasket,
tie rods and track rod ends need replacing,
one of the CV boots is shredded,
it's been 5 years since the cam belt was replaced,
so this year it'll need belts, pullys, tentioners, and dephaser done.
The seats are really hard to slide back and forth,
the headlights need wet & dry sanding,
ABS & TC lights have been coming on and off for years,
alloys are curbed to f*ck,
and for some unknown reason my ipod randomly cuts out for a second every now and again but only in the car,
I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now.
I love the thing though, it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it,
so just like a super fit bird that's a bit high maintenance.......you'll put up with it's failings for a good ride.

Jeez davedreds thats expesive lol, probably buy a decent 172 for the cost of fixing/replacing parts plus labour

Final maxim= ouch!!

haha, mainly bodywork tbh, only things i have to buy wont cost alot, and all will be done by myself, so just time consuming more than anything
Only the sump gasket, tie rods/ends and cam/aux belt service are worth spending money on this year.
The rest I can live with, apart from needing a new gearbox last year, i've not really had any problems with it in 5 years of ownership.
