finally got round to buying the 20vt ive been after for the past 2 months.

Its a metallic red with leather and aircon, R reg(on a private plate) with 43000 miles. Bodywork wise its great. no parking dings and virtually no stone chips on the bonnet. was owned by an 'older lady' so may have not seen much motorway.

Paranoid already after driving it back 100miles today. Runs fine apart from a bit of whining from the gbox at low revs in 3rd,4th and 5th. once upto speed its fine. need to get the hang of the clutch aswell.

anyways im sure ill be on here far too much with imaginery faults etc. going to keep it standard for now as the weathers warming up and leave the modding till autumn.

Great car. Thanks for the help people have given me replying to my posts.

Congratulations. Ref the whining - maybe check your gearbox oil level - there is a separate dip-stick for this on the 20VT.

Update your details, so we know where you're based & get yourself to a local meeting - nothing like a convoy of Coops !
