dci without a doubt 1.2 tce's arn't great on fuel, about the same as a 1.2 16v on fuel but with a bit more power. DCi is leagues ahead in fuel consumption
i beleive both the 1.2 tce100 and 1.4 tce are being replaced with the new 1.2 tce115
1.5dci has 65 to 110bhp depending on model, its the 1.6dci that has 130bhp
little clips behind the steeringwheel, turn it to the side and look through the windscreen you will see them 2 or 3 from memory and full airbag comes off as one, worth disconnecting battery first and leaving it for 10 minutes before doing it.
ive not used a sony thats been released in the last year but used a few that are 1 to 2 yrs old and generally Lenovos are better built although the sony is in no way badly built!
intels latest integrated graphics arnt bad btw they will quite happily stream 1080p and watch bluerays etc which is probably all you need if not gaming?
you must have one of the lucky ones! their business class ones arnt bad but the usual mainstream stuff ive had nothing but bother with in the...
a faster i5 processor, same ram, larger hard drive, same size both LED screens, different graphics chipset but still much on par with each other yet its going to be leagues ahead build quality, and its £100 cheaper, hence my better for the cash quote.
agree with what roy says above too.
its an expensive job by the time you replace the belts and tensioners and ideally your going to need to remap it to get the best gain you could from it, if you were going to all that effort you would be as well going for aftermarket cams or sticking a 1.6 bottom end on it too!!
ive had a pair of mildly modified and rolling road proved to be extremely healthy 172's and after only doing 2000 miles in my new 200 i can safely say, anyone who says a 172/182 is quicker has either never driven a 200 or isnt reving it high enough, they do need revved even more so than a...
H&R 40mm springs or eibach sportlines. maby worth looking into sourcing a set of GT dampers while your at it if the bolt spacing is the same.
wont do any harm to do an oil filter and plug change on it, service intervals are every 18k or 2yrs what ever come first on an 06 plate from memory it...
much better out there for the cash

mainstream lenovo may not have the outstanding build quality of the business class thinkpads but they are still extremly well built, much better than HP anyway!! and good value for money
100 is the best if your looking for a decent compromise of power and performance, torque limit as standard isnt great though, a remap completely transforms them! mine was brilliant! they are still holding mega money though!
80's are popping up cheap these days making a good buy, take one over a...
colour looks much much better in the flesh.
the reg vary vauxhall garage few meters down the road from it also has a white 200 with white speedlines dunno any details on it though just noticed it tonight
yes, because if something suddenly happens where i need access to a few £K then its no good having a 16k car sitting in the drive with no savings, id rather pay the small price of a higher interest rate and have the cash available to me.
thanks for the correction on the spelling. really...
