Yes it was Al Thanks very much..The car does have a few issues but nothing bad.

Its got a full vx Service history...The suspension and steering is just spot on.. So So smooth.

The code reader went on it. giving me one code P0100  MAF. So mark DTM is going to Do a live data read for me.

Front pass Door dented. Got one From nigel in notts £20...Z594

2 Prev owners Cam belt was done at 44000 Now there is 75000 on the clock,,,But its gone over 4 year on this belt so that needs doing

Overall im well happy with it Although its got the p0100 code flashed up.. It drives spot on..Its like a bleeding bullet  :y

If you've got the green slip then you should be able to tax it online but you'll probably have a bit of form filling to do
You will need the 12 digit number off  the new keeper supplement.

Sorted Al had to go P.O   :y

All legal now So been flying around on a test run ..Wow dont they shift..

Notice loads of different things...compared to the 2.2 (not just power)

Powered steering so easier and the steering setup feels just spot on
suspension seems firm. Car seems lower..Its got them like bucket seats(cloth) in ,so not sure if its them.i will do a pic soon.

The ride is just so different yet the 2.2 only got 68000 on the clock and is also spot on they are like two different cars.
The interior looks Brand new

Love the headlights...I can now see in the dark  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh and the AR25  Compared to the AR35  ...Better not set TB off
