Hi don,

I was wondering how much it cost to take your car to mrc to sort out the air flap issue (don’t know the proper name either lol) as mine has the same issue?

Hi

I've had mine about 7.5 years.

Suprisingly little has gone wrong.

From memory, failed right rear light, replaced by firm I bought car from.

Engine fault which was an air flap (dunno proper name) had gone past the guard for it. Flicked back into position by MRC, never repeated.

Coolant lines in driver's wing repaired. Common fault, but as far as I'm aware only affects RHD cars.

Oil pump seal deteriorates, common fault. Probably from engine bay heat. I've used Forte seal restorer with every annual oil change. Has never got worse.

Rear wiper drooped, replaced with new by myself. Had to dremer it off through corrosion.

No start fault, which was the fuel pump fuse, on top of the battery, which had cracked through fatigue(?). Replaced by me.

Two oil lines replaced due to corrosion.

I do low mileage so that may be a factor.

Still love the car, been stage 2 for about 7 years with no problems.

Hi

I can't remember it was done as part of service.

The mechanic had the engine stripped and diagnosed correctly in about 45 mins IIRC so wouldn't have been much.
