The last prefacelifts had the later engine -r.c. Has one

I would love to know what this stuff is made of! £99+vat per LITRE!! Surely there must be some alternative??

I was going to but no time.

Cheers - already been shafted by TTS so will keep this in mind for future

Exactly - best be safe than sorry! But like I said, for the price of a facelift 140 you can get a pre-facelift 190. You'll have that fantastic engine and what not. You can always change the front bumper and rear lights for ones off Ebay to change the exterior to a facelift 190 then, so you're getting the best of both worlds. But then again, a facelift 140 will have a darker, prettier dash, better dials, facelift rear lights and front bumper as standard, and a longer 6th gear ratio for quiet motorway cruising. It's what you want out of it really mate. If you want one to be quieter and using a lot of motorway journeys, while not hugely bothered about speed, get the 140. If you wanted the 190 but just can't afford it, but can afford a facelift 140, then just get the pre-facelift 190.

If it hasn't got a facelift front end then it's probably a pre-facelift engine. They changed around 03 so you'll see some pre-facelifts on an 03 plate. If I were you? Don't buy it. Get a facelift car (the differences can be found on this forum between the two), and have peace of mind that it'll be fine. Yes the facelift engine could have problems if it was neglected, but thats few and far in between - if you buy a pre-facelift 140 you're asking for trouble. Save up a little more and get a facelift 140. But, for the price of a facelift 140, you can get a pre-facelift 190, and those engines never had issues so might be worth considering.

well you know me ian i love the spraying aspect hehe

Hi my hubby always reuses copper washers. Is simple even I can do it now. Clean washer then heat till cherry red, leave to cool and job done. Blowtorch, gas ring on cooker, never tried electric or camping stove. Saves searching for new ones

Took today of to do my brake calipers but all its done is rain. At least I got my caps done,one less thing to do. Here's the finished product, really pleased with the result and mooks graphics are spot on.
