hi all im new here, recently bought a cordoba from a garage, it 2.0 16v sx. i thought id have a browse on here n i found my car in one of the posts saying its was running at 190 bhp.
obviously this isnt true.. but i was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the cars histry?? got loads of reciepts etc just wondered if anyone knows first hand or whatver..

also i was wondering what the fuel consumption is like because i dont seem to be getting many miles out of a full tank.. i dont know if this is because the engine size n all the mods etc. was just wondering and hoping its nothing serious.. thanks people..

It used to be owned by 'Saul' who's a member on here, and then by a couple of other members.

There are a couple of threads from the previous owners kicking about, but I can't recall their names at the moment.

When I get 5mins this afternoon, I'll have a dig/search and see what I can find.

Hey I was the last owner with this car lol
the stickers was put on there by the owner befor me and I never was brave enuf to tale them off in case the paint came with it.
It was a realy good car and never let me down at all.
I had to put the crapy 15s on it as it had sum 17s which rubed like mad and the it had a carbon fiber sticker bonnet so I put the black one on cuz cudnt find a red one lol.
I also got a new cat put on it as well but never got around to fitting the proper air filter and fixing the rev problem which u have more than likely done with any luck.
Also it's got spax sus on it and they are adjustable but cudnt seem to find out were to do it on the rear ones tho.
Well hope this helps and if u ever come around to selling it let me know as I wud have it back lol

alright mate, its funny u should say that as the clutch went yesterday, im abit gutted. but yeah the car is awesome, really quick aswell. i am thinking of selling it tbh because it costs so much to run.. but yeah its a really reliable car, i bought it from a dealer and i havnt had any probs with it so far apart from the clutch..
