so, in fact the only thing that fell off, stopped working and died was the Sunroof Switch.

The Gearbox has its occasional Jerkiness but new Fluids have helped.

Trim and Interior show hardly any signs of wear and tear,
the Front of the Car has suffered with Stone Chips and it has a few tiny dents from Idiots with Shopping Trolleys or the likes that dont care what their Car Door hits when they open it
the Mat in the Boot is starting to come apart at the Edges
and the Rims have suffered some Kerb Rash

Believe it or not I am still using the Original Indicator Bulbs.

Would I recommend the Car? hell yeah

Knock on wood, that it stays that way, it needs to last until the new one comes out in 2014


cheers Guys
