I bought this car almost one year ago. Every time I do maintenance work on it I find more missing, damaged, out-of-spec aftermarket parts. The lug nuts were all rounded, the front rotors were worn thru the grooves, The serpentine belt was an aftermarket bargain basement model with a 12-month warranty (and it failed before that!), the left front rotor locking screw is on holiday somewhere, and there is no O-ring on the inlet to the Throttle Body where the inlet hose connects.
Hang my head in shame.
Yes, a trio of these O-rings is in my eEuro shopping cart, as is the rotor locking screw, but I haven't pushed the Buy Now button on their website.
