I've never driven a Mk1 before but the comparisons you make all sound about about right to me. Good write up:)

I was thinking of getting one from ebay but i'm sure I read that the wireing is different or something?

Cheers lol. I didn't get the CD changer either which is a bugger because I would kill to plug an MP3 player into the standard head unit:(

Mines an import if that makes any difference? It was also registered in Oct 03 iirc.

You can't just put that down to to "problems". The CTR cost more to buy in the first place because its a bigger class of car.

You can just pull the pipe off the right hand side of the air box if you want a nice sound;) and I haven't noticed any decrease in performance what so ever with that method.

Mines a 53 and just has the ESP. Saw a couple of other 53 platers with cruise when I was looking though.

I would recommend them. For the money they cost not much comes close. They are quick, handle very well, look good (yet understated), have all the mod cons you need, safe and (although not the main reason to buy one) very good on fuel. I don't think so far (touch wood) they cost to much to...

Either you drive like a complete tit everywhere you go or you need to take it back to who ever mapped it and get them to fix it lol.

Sorry for the poor pic Xbox 360 Tannoy 6.1 speakers with a Paradigm sub upgrade Dennon AVR 1803 NEC 720P projector at 92" at the min 32" Panasonic CRT TV My laptop Thomson PVR Harmon/Kardon/Microsoft do everything remote

On a long run I've seen 40-45mpg easy and around 30-34 general so it ain't bad:)

Or if that fails do it again and type "fixboot" where you typed chkdsk /r

+1 Plenty of better things to spend 2k on imo

Having the centre cap stolen could have happened with any car though. Apart from the ones without of course.

wtf:S

On the advice of others on here and my mechanic (after he had checked it) I didn't bother changing the pump when I got mine done.

I'm happy with mine.

I've resorted to turning mine off in the wet now when I know I will have to give it some to get in a gap at the junctions..... It would be interesting to hear what others are like or what they're like from out side the car.

I paid £270 (mates rates) the other month. Would normally be £300.

you must be mad to pay that!

I would rather have most diesels over a 1.2 in all fairness;)

I bet the excess that some of these young drivers would have to pay must be laughable tbh.

Maybe the old one had the accustic valve removed or air feed disconected from the side of the air box? Might explain the lack of noise.

Well it is true:D I got mine done just the other week. Based in Huddersfield so not to far and he is a cambelt specialist too. With new spark plugs, oil and everything for the 5 year service you will be looking at about £400 all in (as Dan says). PM me if interested.

Not worth the risk imo, just get it done on time then you don't have to worry about it anymore. Thats what I've just done.

£250 for my 172 stealth and very happy with it so far:approve:

£300 for cam/aux belt change over my way.

Sorry to jump the thread but is it Storthes Hall where people go mountain biking round the back in the woods?

ASAP

Nice projector, can't beat them for a bit of COD and the like..... Here's mine:D 92 inch 720P limited by the depth of the room.
