Well i have never had any problems with mine! other then general wear (e.g. services etc!) and one slave cylinder!

3years? that might still be covered by a warrentee? did you buy it new?if so what did you take out a standrad warrentee and when does it run out?

How much did it miss the service by? if it was more than 1k then it usually invalidates the warranty quite understandably. If it missed it by 5k miles then it could be contributing to the problems you have now. I have a 1.8 thats great but the engines very rough, I reckon its down to a missing service at some point in its life or a very harsh owner who reved it hard from cold.
