There were several faults which led to me losing trust in its reliabilty

- Heater controls which don't illuminate
- Brake lights stopping on after having parked up and left the car (pretty wierd I thought)
- A roof which won't detach from the top of the windscreen on the drivers side
- Numerous rattles

As of Thursday all of the above should hopefully be fixed under warranty. However, these faults combined with high insurance due to it being a cabrio (well it use to be anyway) and my age, along with a soon to expire warranty made me think it was time to move on.

I've just started stripping it back to standard, not a fun job... but hopefully the R56 will be a fresh start
