Known Issues
Rear Axle Geometry:
The swing axle setup on earlier models (Mk1/Mk2) is prone to 'tuck-in' under hard acceleration/braking. Mk3 addressed this with revised geometry and wider wheels.
Overdrive Reliability:
Laycock Overdrive units can be sensitive to low fluid levels or incorrect fluid type, leading to premature wear.
Bodywork Corrosion:
Like many British cars of the era, susceptible to rust, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and A-pillars.
Carburetor Issues:
SU or Zenith-Stromberg carburetors require regular tuning and rebuilding due to aging seals and diaphragms.
