Default My list of problems with my xr8

Hey all,

I just thought id share my lonnnggg list of problems with u all! Its booked into the mechanic on monday but ive only had the car for 3 months and i got a decent list of probs that dont look like there gunna be cheap to fix.

1. Grind noise when taking off at low revs around 700-1000 rpm
2. Alot of "play" in steering
3. No handbrake!!
4. Very rough idle
5 Wobble sort of noise when driving, which becomes worse when turning right
6. Clunk sorta noise when hittin the accelerator, sounds like coming form diff?
7. Crazy shakes when hittin 120kmph
8. Hard to put in 1st and reverse
9. Also leaking near steering column on my leg!!!

As u can see its a decent list and dont seem like cheap fixes. U probably all notice im always on the forum with my never ending problems.
Cant wait for the bill on monday!! :togo:
