another thing i forgot to say, is that if you also look under williams, there will be a more detalied desciption of what to look for (they have the same body shell)
for 2.5k you should be able to get a good l/m reg one mate,
if you can get one with 60k on then good, however things can go wrong around that mileage, if you get one thats done more, then all of the things should have been done. if things do go wrong, they can be expensive!!
the buying...
elf trx, it think its called mate (it says in the handbook i think)
make sure you dont buy the one with trz, as its wrong,from memory its fully synthetic.
(the dopes in the 1st dealer i went to sold me the fully synt, but its the wrong one !)
i can never get the mag anywhere !
not even in smiths, sometimes the newsagents @ work has it.
on the occassions i do get to read it, its all peugeot !
(except for the clio/saxo/pug thrash a while ago)
either the standard one mate, or a williams one
(a willy one is colour coded & slightly bigger than the 16v one)

if so, please dont put one on.
ionly have 1 key,
i was quoted 120.00 from renault for a spare key (mine has the light on it and dimples where you press to operate the central locking) thats on a 1994 m plate valver.

personally i dont like turbines
(i know i will get killed now, by the die hard fans for saying that !!)
each to their own & all that, but i prefer phase 2 alloys.
i agree its a good quote, is that tpft ? of f/c ?
my brother wanted a fiesta zetec 1.25 only gr5, but most inc elephant wanted 2.5k (f/c) even with my mum on the policy as a named driver, my bro is 18 with no ncd.
in the end he went as a named driver on my dads for 900.00 f/c, i know he...
ive just seen when this post began !
back in feb!
i got quoted rediculous with them, ended up paying nearly half with elephant, elephant were also cheaper for a qoute on my next car (grp 19) than they were on my valver !!
i use normal unleaded in the valver- from tescos,
ive heard that the fuel is poo, but no one has proven it to me, so i guess ill just keep on using it !
i reckon all that optimax lark is bull sh*t any way.
just been looking on the autotrader,
there are 4 black ones on there, 4 or 5 exclusives, and a couple of yellow ones (which are up for more money)
there are no mk1s in red !!
