Hmmm bugger... I may have persuaded my dad to go buy a new ND. Wonder if this affects the autos

Thats some seriously low k' for failures to start appearing with tame driving. Wonder whats causing it? Either poor design or sub-par materials?

That's early rotary failure figures. Maybe NSU designed/built the gearbox

AFAIK the nd uses the same auto gearbox as the NC so should be OK. ..also the more powerful fiat is rumoured to use the older stronger NC manual box as the test mules broke gearboxes in testing with the 1.4turbo motor
