Has a 1999 time stamp: cars year of registration! Cars done 160,000 miles....just went and bought the kit being done tomorrow morning! wont drive it til then haha

did you not take a pic?
holy cow, thats one tank of a cambelt!
Surprised it lasted that long! I think mine itching to snap, cars on 132,000 and ive got no service history with it so I have no clue when it was done last. Phoned up the garage that was on the plates though and they told me the previous owner was a woman and she didnt like to pay for the repairs it had done, so somethings ben fixed anyway :P
Need to get the clutch done soon and thats £200odd :( its already had new wheel bearings, front lower suspension arms, new springs, whole new backbox + pipe, new handbreak cables and 2 lambda sensors. Really is an annoying car :P
will get a pic of the old one when its off tomorrow, could only get the top half of case of without taking wheel off etc so no space for camera
i'd have just bought a decent car tbhQuote:

WAHHHHH
do you always have to blab on about your own car in other peoples threads?Quote:
