Hi all,
Greetings from Australia.
I have been lusting after these machines for 3 or 4 years. In my youth I had a hot (!) MK1 Cortina,then 2L Escort, Volvo 142S. Then lots of boring things. I've been eyeing off my mates 205 GTI and thinking. Approaching 60 I'd better get what I actually want before it's too late.
I appreciate that the people who have had problems will make a lot of noise, understandably so.
What percentage of RCZs have major problems? e.g. Timing chain, clutch etc.
I'm not ready to buy yet and I am hoping that when I do the big bug will have been sorted.
Thanks to all who post info on here. Very informative and interesting.
Malcolm
