Standard apart from an XE inlet cam and some "SUPERCHIP" ecu chips. Got the ecu chips free as my mate couldn't find the any standard chips.

Very tidy, as much of the ecu loom possible is tucked away

, bloody sat navs aye? The best way is to head towards Halifax then go towards Mark's so it takes you down the main roads.
But I know what you mean about them hills. Recovery guy that took me to get my car when I bought it with a knackered engine had his sat nav and it took us through the hills. Was close on some corners .

Yeah, its different though using cable shift! But other than that its easier to drive, doesn't torque steer anywhere enar as much and the power is easier to control. Power steering is nice in a Vectra too, was never a fan of it in corsas so never had it fitted to that.
