Cam belts and tensioner kits are very cheap for this engine, and its very easy to do.

That has really came up a treat 8-)

Very nice interior, an optional extra. Its a wonder it has had leather and no AC.

How do you like the 2.0TCT engine?
Chris.

Looks a nice car, one of my earlier ones was that colour. I think I have a new exhaust in stock, minus the front pipe, if you have any problems getting one. I take it you bought that house for the number of XMs you could get on the front ;) . I used to live in a bungalow like those opposite, in Petts Wood.

Peter,

it has a brand new zorst fitted to it now - am £532 lighter as a result of buying and MoTing it. Am going to try servicing it at the weekend.

When we bought this house, it had a small front garden and a driveway for two vehicles - it has had the driveway extended and it now accommodates four/five vehicles.

The house we're going to has slightly more space and a bigger driveway - I need it now!
