Title: What will go wrong first?
Post by: richw911 on 28 May 2012, 15:08
Well driving along today and the speedo clocked over to this :

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/richw911/2012-05-28142617.jpg)

As I bought the car outright in 2004 for £7200 with 62000 miles its been brilliant! :afro:

(Chuff I cant hear you talking about water pumps...la la la la  :lipsrsealed: :grin: )

Anyway as the car still has the original MAF, Turbo, ignition amp and all four coilpacks - by making this post I shall obviously be jinxing myself so which will go first  :laugh: :grin:

The pedal on the right isn't simply an on / off switch you know  :tongue:

I'll revise my original answer and say that the ignition amp will crap its pants first
