Hi people

I just bought a 2001 156 2.0 Lusso. Great car to drive!

Looking to get some toys put on there and would be interested to hear any experiences you've had with your cars and any warnings that might be relevant!!

I had an Audi Coupe before and a Renault 19 16v before that.

What coupe was it the 2.0 GT! They are superb to drive - A friend of mine had one that did 250k miles on original engine and no rebuilds or problems or burning oil - He did change the oil every 3000 miles though!

Afraid I cant afford a GT, i have the 2 litre twin spark saloon jobby. Goes like **** though as it only has 35k on the engine.

i have to admit I am considering getting the ECU remapped though
