Left my wife stranded 3 x on side of road it did.

Mikee has it there, the quality of servicing is a cause of a lot of the issues. I've had mine serviced at the local dealer religiously, but to be honest the sales team far far outperform the servicing team. Every time I've got it back something hasn't been right and I mean every time. You can't keep making excuses - which is a shame as they aren't dear or lacking in the customer's experience it's just the quality of the work on the vehicle.

That said, the basic vehicle of that era is the last of their model run so a lot of their issues had been discovered and corrections made. They are reliable if looked after and not used at full load or towing 3000Kg - even reasonable off road. The next generation (PX) brought in the CanBUS setup, which can create a few issues but worse with the new one is a few of the design features of the engine and fuel system which in a word suck.
