While the car has never given a single moments bother I have done a lot of preventative maintainence to keep it that way.
Just prior to my purchase May 2010- Header tank and engine mount replaced
June 2010- New post cat Lambda sensor
New bottom wishbone ball joint and Track rod end
Headlights aligned for MOT, needed nothing else
July 2010- Anti rattle pins installed in doors
August 2010- Oil changed- Millers Fully synthetic 10w40
Oil filter replaced- Genuine GM filter
Air filter replaced
September 2010- Soft top cables replaced and seals serviced
October 2010 Hub carrier bolts replaced to 10.9 Carbon steel as the standard ones are prone to failure
November - December 2010 Supercharger conversion
January 2011- Oil changed to Millers Fully synthetic 10w40, filter as above
Spark plugs replaced- Bosch
February 2011 All four tyres replaced- Kumho KU 31s
April 2011 Pagid RS 14 Racing brake pads installed with Drilled and Grooved discs, brake fluid replaced
All in the space of 5000 miles very little left to do even if you wanted to!
All little knocks and rattles have been eliminated which is very rare for a VX220 or Elise, it makes it feel much more refined and pleasant to drive!
