I do actually quite like these, and that looks like a very tidy one you have there Scrivz....enjoy it :-)

My dad's mate has one of these beasts, think its a 1.8 and it flies. I like em

It is all the original "K" series that suffer. The later ones have a thicker gasket, which you should fit if you do one. They tend to go if you run it up to heat too quickly as the thermostat is the "wrong" side of the system. Also, if you need to change the thermostat, make sure whoever does it doesn't think it only goes in one way as it WILL be wrong if he does.
I have the 1.4 and it does slurp petrol if you boot it, but mine will still pull over 6.5k in fifth on the flat.

not had any problems with parts tbh... and that included a whole rear bumper and associated bits when some nice fella decided to shunt me last year

Lol yep the wife has been meaning to take them to the tip, which might I add is about a 1/3 of a mile from our house, it's only been 2 years and counting.

**Sniperdude** · 26-04-12

amazing the stuff I have hid in the wheelie bin for collection.

**scrivz69** · 26-04-12

Lol thought about that mate a brick every 2 weeks, it would have been gone by now, she can take it coz it ain't going in my car.
