Best thing he did smashing that up lol. Bit of an ugly motor!

At most I'd do looks wise is 40mm lower and later SRI wheels.

That's just a typical vauxhall fuel gauge.

To add, they are good engines, I liked mine, they don't get anywhere near forum claimed figures unless you drive like a granny everywhere.

My friend in his 1.7 does arounud 400 miles to a tank and all he does is drive into nottingham and around town and he dont hang about. Works out about 50mpg

My other friend who use to have the 1.3 use to do 600 miles to a tank but he did alot of driving down the a1 to his base so....

pow is clearly pissed off at morning traffic mpg.

No idea if it's fly-by-wire and all that shite, but some 1.7CDTi's have cruise, iirc, so in theory, yes

There was a recall on the C's iirc. They replaced a plastic linkage with metal or something.
