I've had too many to list as members of a certain defunkt forum will know. Most worrying of all though was breaking the welds on my bulkhead/firewall. Before you say anything Zee it was nothing to do with the way I drive it. Not much anyway. :whistle:

Andy,

You sure its not the bracing arms that need tightening in the engine bay? They are known to come loose and need tightening from time to time.
Picked the car up after it's Oil service today (and £240 lighter :o) and had mentioned the fault list to them when I dropped it off. They cured the creaking/rattle. Sure enough, engine bracing arms were the culprits!

Your car is white right. Are you painting that carbon fiber roof? If not, what if it comes out looking bad? Can you remove it?

Yes, I can remove it. Or paint it. But it won't look bad. So there.

5700 miles, 16 months old, only problem was replaced the clutch, had a spring that made a popping sound and you could feel it on the pedal.
