Thanks. What do u think the chance's are trading it in againts a turbo or v5? :drool: i feel abit daft asking.
Don't think garages would go for swapping a 2.0 for a 1.8. Looks like im stuck with it as im not that confident it will sell.

All advice is much appriciated :smiley:
could always put a for sale ad up if it sells buy a turbo as they are cheap enough now  :smiley:

In terms of financial recoup, no, they're not worth it.

Spending on service and maintenance, yes, but spend on it like a 17 year old does on his first car with bolt on tack, then you won't see that money again.
