    I'm not exactly sure I want to contribute to this one in regards to my VR6

      Very slow
      Rattles more than a rattly thing
      Steering wheel off centre
      Steering wheel grinds against cowl
      Gutless
      Mismatched wheel centres
      Only a 2 seater by the time we've put the kayak in it
      Falls over when you come to a corner
      Engine wobbles back and forth
      No power
      Light grey fabric seats don't work in a beach car
      Did I mention that it's slow?

        hehehe these lists are amazing! Here's mine

        -weird metal 'flickering' noise from front-right wheel. sounds like a small metal object in a washing machine
        -heater core but MEH
        -passenger window reg
        -possible leads/coilpack failure

        I think that's it!

          2. Left rear window reg - has a stick inside holding the window up
          3. Right rear window reg
          4. No speedo/tacho - cluster needs replacing/repair
          5. Front Drivers side indicator lense cracked
          6. Bonnet paint heat damaged from previous warped head
          7. Oil breather pipe bodgey repair job - needs replacing - thanks mike
          8. front end creaks when turning hard - so i dont turn too hard
          9. Paint scrached like a bastard all over
          10. Windows still not tinted - hotter than a snakes ass inside
          11. Needs lowering so it doesnt look like a bloody 4WD
          12. Rattle noise under low speed acceleration ??
          13. Rear washer nozzle snapped off from parking too close to the garage door
          14. Aircon needs re-gassing
          15. Valve ticking noise since head replaced - thanks again mike

            I might have a rather cost effective solution to that ... a VN commodore coil pack alebit with a bit of retro-fitting of course

                stereo sounds awful
                drivers side door trim loose
                car alarm has developed a mind of its own
                rough/missing on idle regardless of engine temp
                leather worn out on both front seats
                cruise control busted
                drivers side washer jet shoots over car (can never seem to get it right)
                drivers heated seat doesnt work (meh)

                      While there are a few little [redundant] bits missing (like the idle stabiliser valve), my heater core is new as is the AC compressor, all the windows work, the cruise control works...

                      um... pretty much everything but the ABS reading "outside normal limits" in a VAG-COM scan. So I'm pretty good

                      Now where is some wood for me to knock on

                      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                          They would be bypassed.
