Nothing has gone wrong with the car, a few little problems include: occasional ticking coming from dash sounds like warning lights, some times the lights inside do not come on often it being the drivers door light. Warning sound does not sound any more when headlights are left on. A few minor nitches but nothing I cant live with I think there may be moisture coming from a crack in my indicator lense MY FAULT. I find the paint work very hard to live with as there seams to be a new mark or scratch every day, black is usually hard any way but I find it very difficult needing to be waxed every other week to look its best.
