Bought one today.
Nice car, only done 19k.
So plenty of warranty left.
What sort of early life faults can this model develop?

According to Parker's (http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/Review.aspx?model=285&page=1 ) not much goes wrong with these. Niggles with early (2000-2001) examples have been fixed. Rear suspension bushes may require replacement at high mileages, but you're a long way from that yet.

What you mean aside from the fact that they are known as Dagenham Dustbins!
