This isn't bad in all fairness for trims etc:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_530627_langId_-1_categoryId_165572

link didnt work before but does now, looks good, with trade it should be a good buy, muchos.



And i thought the car had broken itself again,


clicked thru 575 miles



 and the fuel gauge hadnt hit red


and the light hadnt come on  :shocked:

but alas, 2 miles later and it did,  still not bad from a lardy vauxhall  :cool:
