Yeah I finally had the extra work done to it and had some interest off some guy.. I stand to make my money back and have another car lined up so it's just waiting for the buyer to come either tonight or tomorrow!

Watch the gearbox...f18/23 whatever it be are pretty weak. Lifespan is about 80/90k and £300/600 rebuild cost isn't funny.

It's coming from a garage man he works across the road from me.

87k on the clock.. And MOT till Feb 2018! Guy offered it refit the a gearbox for free if it goes I'd have to just buy one! So that's half the cost already.. Only issue is you put in 1st and as clutch bites the gear nob move down.. Not sure what that's about but the guy said it's been like it since he's had it a few years and offered to fit another for free is this one goes.

Linkage? May need adjustment but a garage man would know this surely? For me everyone is welcome here.

It's nice but it's nowhere near as quick but it's good to know a remap will sort this out!

Could even get a respectable 204bhp on a remap! Not sure if this would need any upgrades for the map!
