    My 2002 cc got a spray job done last week. They took the rear bumper off and repainted it. I am almost certain that the deep rumble sound is gone now when I press the accelerator (specially with low rpms) . Also before I could hear a metal clunk sound after releasing the accelerator. As if...

    Interior door lever/handle doesn't work always. Door won't open.

    while preparing my first roadtrip to the motorshow in Geneva tomorrow, Luigi decided to fool around with my 4200 car. The leftside door cannot ( in most cases) opened from the inside. The lever doesn't activate anything. If you pull it again 20 times it works eventually. So right now I have to...
