EEK! Mine is a very early 3.5! So far is proved to be far more reliable then it should have been, in 1 and a half years I've replaced a coil pack (DIY & very cheap) and just had the rear brake pads done for a grand total of £56! Other then that it's been (touch wood) very reliable so far, in fact it went through it's last MOT with not advisories at all and first time with no work. Just hope it carries on like that however in just over a week it's going to spend a day going round Snetterton so we'll see............
