Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

One thing to take note of in a 51'plate is the gearbox, its not very strong and prone to breaking. If you can look for a facelift mobel r53 about an 03 plate. They put a new gearbox in ot that is a lot stronger. The turbo build has finally started |

Having briefly driven one Im not a fan, less space behind the wheel than a classic, and 1495kgs weight means it's a very overweight car for the space inside. But having said that, it's certainly no worse than any other small hatch on the road, and the pedals felt alright to say I'm used to a heavy clutch. The One is a fair bit cheaper on insurance too I think. Hopefully your daughter is okay, there's plenty of airbags inside at least, and the seats are quite supportive. Good luck sorting it! You can shed a shit load of weight out of them! with the supercharged vertion you can get it too 220 bhp no worries just with a remap with air filters boost adjustment and few pully adjustments easy on the way 250+ :) |

Lost 1st gear on mine only 6 weeks after buying it. Fortunately I'd got it from a dealer so it was covered on the warranty, so I now have a full new box and clutch - not often you come out tops against a second hand car salesman To be fair, he was great about it and repaired it without a quibble.

is it a write-off? depending of the savageness of the crash may be worth fixing up without getting insurance involved as her premium would shoot up! guess depends on how much damage was done to the imovable object Lol On 22nd May, 2012 wil_h said:
