Deano how's it running? You had many problems with the 12v?

None at all. Just realised I've put nearly 30k miles on it.
Replaced the AFM once which wasn't even putting up an EML. Apart from general maintenance and a cheap cam chain replacement from Warren, it has been fine been really lucky with it tbh.
On 85k now so thought I'd have an oil change done every 5k miles, except I didn't realise the next service is due about 88.5k
Not sure if the cam chain kit will need doing at about 100k i.e. pulleys and tensioners but that costs about £400, so will be all the car is worth

I know, very very nice. Keep checking the Fifth Gear website for the updates as it will be on there and as it should appear, not computer images

lolz don't get a 1.2 8v.
Find a decent 12v. If I win some money and buy a new car, you'll get first refusal including Depos, alloys, grill, everything

Lol yeah dont get a 1.2 8v
1.2 16v surely isnt that much more expensive than a 1.0 12volt ?

Consider 'Breeze' and 'Club' models. iirc they definitely have p/s and airbag, but not sure on the other bits. Might be cheaper too
pow's 1.2 16v GLS had air con
