105k isn't too bad since its a strong 8v lump. 16v tend to smoke blue and burn oil at 70k+ because of the valve stem seals, although that is easily solved.

How many miles is that on then

All the 1.4 sri's are see are the 16v ones glad to hear someone has the 8v one like me

I did want to add ashley manifold and cat back box system but i hear the 8v aint all that good for tuning

i got vented disc and the vauxhall 5 spoke wheels nothing ott...

since i have had the car i only really drove it about 100mile in 2-3 months worried about the miles, gaskets going etc...

i was going to get a merit 1.2 8v but at the time insurance was cheap on the 1.4
