As instructed, hello!
Bought my 1.6 Gen 3 (04 plate) last year @ 77000 miles or so, for £795, which seems to have been a fair price (if not a little cheap). It's got a few scrapes and scratches, including some that a previous owner has tried to fill in with silver hammerite- it's not the same colour at all.
I've been working away on the car over the last month or so - changed front discs and pads, oil change, air filter change etc. I'm now sorting dodgy suspension on the nearside - what seemed like just a knackered track rod end has revealed a knackered lower ball joint and knackered droplinks on both front sides. Fortunately, the car seems to be old style engineering, so is pretty much just meccano.
Love the car.
