Unless you've got proof it's been done recently, as said, a new engine will need the belt doing.

The bottom pulley bolt is a stretch bolt, which sometimes doesn't get changed. Often the cause of a engine failure.

£500-700 collected, depending on modifications, etc. Buy a second hand Ph1 engine for £350 or less. Whack it in. Split your old engine and sell for parts.

Why get rid of the Trophy susp? It's awesome! If you must go lower, MF springs/custom springs.

Get a new engine, imo. Much easier than cocking about getting the belts done etc, if you can find one where the belts have been done recently. Should be able to see a sub 100k engine with recent-ish belts for £350.

Number of owners never bothers me. So many people buy, realise after 6 months they can't afford and sell.

8 days left and BIN of £1500? Not that cheap, at all! About the going rate.

Well overpriced. I wouldn't pay £800 for a Cat D Ph1.

Either way- buy a 106 GTI/VTS, spend the money on strippers and coke. Don't buy a 1.6 or a diesel unless you do 25k a year! Oh, PM me. I'll have a high spec GTi for sale soon. (;

This b****cks still going on?!

I'd go Trophy- but then I do hate anything with a blue oval on the front.

Just had a bad feeling that it was dodgy, and I've bought some dodgy cars before! Plus, any car that cheap that's still for sale after about three months? You've got to ask why!

Been up for sale for months. After speaking to him- I avoided. That speaks volumes to those who know me.

<3 fUbLoL.

Yeah, my George is knocking on for ten years old (albeit with use every week-ish), and it's been awesome.

There's already one in the guides section. TBH, what I wrote above pretty much covers it.

Got one at work. Epic machine.

FACKIN' 'ELL.

The lip would have to be f**king massive to do any damage to the pads. t**t the caliper off with a hammer.

I rushed into getting a sport when I was 20, and I really should have kept the 1.2 for longer. I know exactly what you're thinking. IMO, if you have to get something faster, buy a cheap Saxo VTS or 106 GTi (be clever about it and you won't lose money! (pm me, and i'll tell you how!)). Then...

IMO, keep the 1.2 until you can afford an RS. Stepping stone cars are a waste of money, imo. Might as well save until you can afford what you really want.

When I have something worth washing, weekly. No matter the weather. For the last year, i've been rolling in sheds which will never see a wash at my hands.

PMSL at the dCi parts bin specials.

No need to remove the pads from the caliper or to touch the piston, etc. No need to bleed the brakes, either. Pretty much. Loosen wheel nuts. Jack up and on stands. Remove front wheels. Undo torx bolt that holds disc on. Undo two caliper bolts. Slide caliper off and cable tie to...

Gorgeous. Except the shitty aerial, lol.

Yours is still my favourite Ph1, ever. And i'm a Ph1 *****.

Built in GHD's. (;

A turbo'd M car is the same as having two chickens at Christmas instead of a massive turkey. It'll do the job, but it's just not the same.

Correct.

I had a George one, (like the Henry, but a wet vac). The thing was f**king awesome.
