That's nice I like it, just the millage that puts me off well not puts me off but I'd ideally like a lot lower mileage SRI or 888 if I found one although I'd guess it'll be priced a lot higher

Mileage is bugger all on that engine IMO

Like I said I know his dad really well so I could take you as a mate and maybe get some more off it for you

maybe

Take the plastic engine cover off and have a look down in the engine, your looking for a long shiney metal rod. make sure its connected. Thats the swirl flap rod.

Do a pedal test and see if any error codes pop up.

What SMC said or look round the back and see if theres a piezburg sticker your hoping for it to say 7.00373.12.0. Which means its had the modified manifold on it reducing the swirl flap issue.

Plenty about for £7-7.5k so shouldn't be too hard to find one, certainly a big change coming from a Corsa B - there's a massive reduction in the amount you can see (no doubt due to safety laws and making the pillars huge amongst other things)

Ok a quick question, looking at a few of these an spotted one I like, been and had a look and seems a very nice example. How ever it's covered in swirl marks. Now I spotted a machine polisher and bottles of G3, so my question is if the car has had some one machine polish it (don't think it had as is covered in swirl marks) is there any tale tale marks or things to look out for to make sure the paint hasn't been ruined? The swirl marks look like poor washing eg polish car wash ect

Make sure you get one with warrenty, a lad I know paid about 8k for 1 from vauxhalls about a week later the gearbox was making a noise took it back and needs a gearbox rebuild, luckly he had his done under warrenty he never listened to me when I told him about the problems, and it's only done about 40k

This is what worries me

Shame there are only a handful at Network Q garages with the right spec.

Shouldn't let it worry you, any car you buy could catastrophically fail 5 miles down the road, such as a dodgy, supposedly better quality, A3. It could also go the rest of it's life needing only wear and tear items.

this is my thought they have been looking for months for the spec I'm after, loads private though, I'm not going to let it worry me to much though as every car has a fault that every one knows and raves about plus the £1k extra you lay to go through network q would cover the repair if you bought private I guess
