Hello, just found this site.
I have a 220 xr8 series 2. Love it to pieces and wouldn't swap it for any of the ba's I have driven . Much more fun.
Has had a LIST of problems though... LOVE the extended factory warranty....Lets see
Radiator split in the driveway overnight.
Engine melted exhaust valves at 48,000kms (Too high a compression ratio I'm told).Rebuilt in Melbourne and sent back to Queensland (Now REALLY good)
Strut mounts
Window switches (5 at last count)
Idle problems (EVERY electrical component under the bonnet changed at least twice... Throttle position switch last.)
Stalling....eventually fixed.
Pinging VERY badly above 4,000rpm... Replaced fuel pressure regulator (unique to the 220's) and fixed the problem!
Other small things I can't think of but...
Lucky it is so much fun to drive!
