Yeah i've not read anywhere about the timing chain on the service intervals apart from just checking it.
Could be worth a punt at the right price then?

I'd say so. But ask if the valve clearances was done in the last service. If only for the fact you'll know the owner took good care!

Would it say so in the service book? It's at an independent dealer so they might not want to say if it has or hasn't been done

Face lift 53 plate on trader for £3995 with 73k.
Or a 02 ore facelift with 79k for £3500. I'd rather get a year or two older car with less miles but that's just me.
Face-lift on a 53 plate?? Thought they didn't get the face-lift till 2004??
Possible if its early.
December 2003 the facelift came out
Mate had a 53 plate on a facelift
