R S Murray gets a good name on here, Paul from RS Tuning's old man I believe?

That would be my line of thought, injectors mixed up and require coding

granted my trophy is in a heated garage but I take it out for half an hour once a month to keep it freed up, always starts no problem and not had any issues, left my ph1 sitting outside for 6 months that year we had a bad winter loads of snow etc and it was fine bar some mould

I'd pay upto 1400-1500 max if I was on the look out for a good base of a cup

mileage aside, as I said above its a proper minter in the flesh, I bought it blind on eBay and couldn't believe my eyes when I got it home and saw it in the sunlight the next day!!

centre exhaust silencer failed, akrapovic evolution ordered :)

it still won't be a big seller? Just like the 197 and 200 then, doesn't mean it's a bad car!

I know a lad who works for the forces and they required 2 new defenders to replace old ones, applied for funding for them or what ever is required and it got rejected, but they have no budget for maintenance so his boss said ok go and order 2 of everything required for a defender and they built...

2k jesus, yeah I paid £970 for it then sold it on for £1500, it's a brilliant wee car for under £1500, I put a wee bit of cash into it and it's a good spec

I'm genuinely surprized the gasket went I've never heard of it on one

as title, looked pretty tidy, I was going the other way towards callander on my way to work in a red 197

ive always used the recommended ELF SXR 5w40 as its cheap as chips on ebay and my cars have always ran well with it

that's a dci 106 with the 6 speed box, more expensive road tax on them £120 from memory, the mk3 in general is 10mpg worse off like for like driving conditions *GOING BY THE TRIP COMPUTER* not so sure real life but not quite as good. however they are generally a bit more reliable fuel system...

remapping is fine if you use a company with a good reputation, suppose its the same with all cars these days! ive had 3 mapped DCi's and they have all drove so much better, giving better economy!

my 65 felt faster than my 1.2 16v, It probably wasn't and just the torque that made it feel that way but as a daily it had no problem keeping up with traffic, you just didn't find yourself on the wrong side of the road overtaking 5 cars at once lol

I had a 100, eventually running 130hp/190lbft and it was proper fast for what it was and done 60mpg easily daily. ive got an 80 running 110hp/175lbft at the moment, its a better daily to be honest, but id have either or, don't rule out a good 80 and go for a ropey condition 100. my mate has a...

This!, Last time I had an AMD was an Athlon XP!! actually I tell a Lie I have an AM1 Quad core Athlon 2.1GHz in my HTPC and I cant wait to replace it, but I'm too tight to until ive had 12 months out it!

tbh they don't rust so everything else is fixable, as long as its not a crash damaged wreck. I bought a heap for £800 couple of years ago, spent a grand on it and it drove like new! they are good out the box on track so id look at buying cheap, spend £500-£1000 getting it driving as it should...

epic purchase looks the part! I'm quite surprized at that given the engine!, that's my opinion of my 197 when jumping in from the Trophy, I thought this would be a different animal!

not had much time to update this, not much has changed. Manifold flexi burst so got a good condition manifold from a Clio 200, swapped them over and stuck a new lower engine mount to remove any excess play as I had a feeling this could be the culprit that had caused the manifold to fail, so that...
