the soft clutch is pants, i drove a valver with it on and it felt wierd, very springy without the pressure(if that makes sense), stick with a firm clutch, you know you wanna!
no i used to be methodical when checking things under the bonnet, i went for an mot in march and the car passed with flying colours not a single thing wrong at all, you dont buy a valver to cruise around in, you buy one to race or thrash, the engines are solid but you have to look after them...
i spent 2.5k in total in the first year and this car had a headgasket changed at 96k and its now on 120K, sorry anyway you look at it, its gonna cost you money CARS DO! If you dont want problems get a nissan micra they are chaep and cheerfull and reliable and PANTS! There are some exeptions...

W*nkers I will keep an eye out for it down here, there is not that may willys on the road, what you can do is post up on http://www.findit.co.ukwww.findit.co.uk on their car forum they have a dedicated STOLEN page. Just watch the Loot, autotrader and any other car magazines as it may come up...

What i would do with the other one is go...
