The car its self has been looked after, you can tell by the body work etc. I deffo think it has been clocked. I think i'm gonna get rid beofre i do find something out i don't wanna know about. I'm just thinking of what car to get next for about 3k. Anyone got any ideas? It has gotta be cheap to insure so has to be standard!!!

	quote: Originally posted by sport16v Check the service records...if its from a garage they should be up to date...what garage did u get it from? I got it from a Peugeot garage. It's got a FPSH and all the old MOTs. Something just makes me think it has been clocked though. I haven't put my finger on it yet but i have noticed that there is no receipts for parts, the rubber on the pedals is quite badly worn, 4 new tyres were put on during the last service (6 months ago) or so it says in the service book which are only just road legal.

Oh and he has the obligutory Kenwood sticker in rear. :rolleyes: [Edited on 09-09-2003 by sport16v] When i first got mine i was red line it eveywhere. Mine is quite fast for a 1.1. Had my mate off in his 1.3 Escort!!! Not much point in it though really, just wreck the car, write it off or kill someone. I try to stick to the speed limits now. I think i might have seen that car for sale in the garage i got mine from. Does it have a fat zorst, a big Kenwood sticker in the back window, 3 door and a Zest 2 model?

	Today my car has been playing up a bit. Everytime i start it up it starts first time but then it's strugling to stay alive. Once you rev it a few times it's fine. This is happening from both cold and warm. Anyone got any ideas what it could be?
