At least the slush box doesn't have a Dual Mass Flywheel ;D

If you're after one then buy either the 1.8 petrol or the 120 bhp diseasel :y

A chipped 120 will be more reliable than the 150 :y

1.8 is rev happy and bombproof from personal experience :y cheaper to buy than diesel ones too and fuel is cheaper so running costs are pretty much the same...
