#4: Re: Hi all, need some advice. Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:06 am ---- Has it had a cambelt and water pump done resently? Also you'll have to ask about the clutch and resent service records

The Eco version is, think its a slightly modified air box and a longer final drive which results in lower emissions at the rev range they perform the test thus bringing it into the £30 tax bracket.
#9: Re: Hi all, need some advice. Author: belly206, Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:56 am ---- ok so ask about cambelt and water pump, any other parts that are prone to problems that i should be aware of?

#14: Re: Hi all, need some advice. Author: RMS-GTI, Location: Hemel HempsteadPosted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:47 am ---- I would say that's a lot of money for those miles. I would be looking at 600-700 quid. They are worth peanuts now.
The main things I would check are Cambelt/water pump has been done, clutch has been done if its been needed, and check the condition of the rear beam and bearings.
In fairness then it's just the standard stuff. They are pretty tough. I wouldn't be overly concerned with the miles- but I definitely wouldn't pay that. I picked up a silver 3 door, with 70k 1 owner full history for just a smidge over that a few years ago!!
