I bought a new V8 vantage in October 2006. Within a week it was back in the garage to have an 'Emission System Fault' fixed. Then back in again for the same problem. Then the drive belt started squealing, which it went in on four occasions to have fixed. Then it rev limited to 2,700 revs and told me the engine needed urgent attention. The Aston assitance guy cleared this fault down and we never did get to the root of the problem. Then it told me there was a 'Total Brake System Failure'!
