neil Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Its not worth recon ing them imo. the previous owner of mine spent £1700 on it last year so will be about that price if not more now. Youi could get a new 2.0l or 1.8 slightly cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If you just wanted to replace the motor and you weren't really bothered about upgrading, then Marcus is selling his good condition 1.6. Wave about £50 in front of him and I think it's yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 In my opinion, anyone collecting it is a fair price! Especially without manifolds! 1.6 ain't worth jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drk_red_Mk5 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 It is only my first car so uve all gotta let me off!!........at least i think so anyway.So if a 1.8 gets chucked in, (after the 130ps on if i do) will it be notocable to my ol' man if he looked at it from the top? Apart from the air inlet trunk wud have a sticker but that wud be peeled off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveA Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 i'm putting a 1.8 mondy lump in place of my 1.6 hopefully very soon. i'll let you know how i get on. as far as i know there are a very few subtle differences in looks, but prob wouldn't notice.

marcus Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 the ONLY difference on the exterior is the writing on the block, the 1.6 had '16' written on it and the 2.0 had '20' written on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
