dannyhack Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello guys, im supposed to be picking up a glanza this week but im starting to have doubts. It seems quite a few people on here have problems with them and seems like they always need money spent on them to keep them running...... Not sure i can afford to keep chucking money at it if i get one.Is there many things that go wrong, and is there anything i can do to reduce the rates of repairs?Thanks.

Liam_D Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Seems to be a fairly tidy example mate, aslong as its been looked after and maintened well there wont be no problems with relaibility. Glanzas are bullet proof if maintained properly. Welcome to UKSC dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
