thanks

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Yes but you can knock off (or grind off *happy*) the HS coupling & fit a pot-joint if the shafts are identical :)

As far as I know they all got the pot joints when they were first introduced. About 1973?
