Smile few little faults

Well Jason, without trying to sound critical, because I really am not, the following:
self scratching windows
dreaded droopy sunvisor
high tide in the rear and front reflector assembly
that pesky transmission problem which some of you know about
hungry CD player
climate control instrumentation failure (James knows about this one)
wheel bearings

Oh oh, I think this sounds a bit picky. Please don't view it as such, because I am a devoted SVX's. Let's be fair, all cars have their own quirks and faults and I for one am quite happy to live with these in exchange for the joy that the car brings. Regards, Mark.

I feel exactly the same way!

Luckily, I do not suffer from any of those problems (touch wood!), but due to the wiring inside both sun visors having split, I have had to disconnect both to prevent a possible short circuit!

After having examined the wiring, it does appear that the method used to route the wiring through the sun visor hinge is definitely flawed!

I understand that the design of the visor hinge mechanism was changed during the life of the SVX, but I am surprised that this flaw was not discovered (and rectified) sooner!



Jason.

I think that because everything else in the car is so good, and that we also want everything to be so, that the little un-noticeable quirks we find in other cars become quite noticeable in ours.
