Better off going for a MClaren F1 imo, is quicker and sounds mental with a driled airbox

My mates works for vaux and he told me every time a gsi goes in first thing whats up with is the iscv without a doubt. Nippy little car but if any engine work wants doing its a bastard, manifold off jobbie

Lee Mitchel or whatever hes called seems to be good and good value too - ask him
Just ask for reciepts and see if the moneys been spent. Ask about servicing FSH, local garage, doin it himself, nobody? check for dodgy idle should sit at 800ish rpm.
