Handy about the parts for you then....I paid £140 for an alternator then fitting of £40 (that was cheap)...

Major costs are going to be Cambelt at around £250-300 (pain in the arse to do)...clutch which I had done cost me £95 for clutch and £140 fitting...and exhausts id they go...

There is no 168BHP engine that year. But I have got it wrong, its 158bhp. The only time there was a 168bhp engine is when the emisions laws were changed and the 174bhp was restricted a little to meet them.
Anniversary models, G-Limiteds etc didn't have different engines to the current range.
I'm not trying to upset you, my friend had a black one in the same year, 158bhp and it was plenty fast enough since he went from a Nova SR to the MR2.
