dci 100 isnt more to tax, its £30 just like the 65 and the 80. ive had a 1.2 16v, dci 65 and dci 100 and id choose the dci hands down, cheaper to tax, massive mpg (lets face it 1.2's are terrible on fuel for what they are!) i was getting 20 miles less to a tank in my 172 than i got in my 1.2...

climate you cant add at a later date so personally id hold off and make it a must have.

mrs car has snapped a coil spring so looking for something uprated, not interested in coilovers or mega low just looking for something a little better. lets see some pics? also got a set of sportlines lying about might stick them on it or a set of 172 springs

F4R 172 engine is a possible swap however its not straight forward. 1.8 16v/2.0 16v Valver/williams engine is fairly straight forward though, especially with a doner car!
