Known Issues

Hydropneumatic Suspension:

Leaking spheres, failing pump, worn height correctors, and hose degradation are common wear items. Regular fluid maintenance is crucial.

Electrical Gremlins:

Older wiring looms can degrade, leading to intermittent faults in lighting, instrumentation, and other electrical components. Fuse box connections also require attention.

Rust:

Like many cars of this era, rust can be a concern, particularly in sills, wheel arches, and floor pans. Regular inspection and preventative treatment are advised.

Carburetor Tuning:

Weber carburetors require periodic adjustment and cleaning to maintain smooth running and optimal fuel economy.
