Well...it didn't fuck up again, but it is going. Confirmed. Update Got the broken spring replaced today, great use of my holidays before crimbo :) however, en route back to work i called into Donnelly's in Mallusk as i had the four-one-one on a car that had come in....and long story short, i've done a deal to trade my red one in for it. The new car is still a 159, only this one is grey, with suede rather than leather...and oh yeah, its a 2.4 JTDM. 210 BHP kkplzthnx! Same MPG as the 1.9, same tax as the 1.9, insurance will be a bit higher but who cares. It also has MAHOOSIVE 4 pot front calipers same as my dad's V6 has! badges are in great condition which means i dont have to replace them, a tow bar, and the body work is in much better condition as are the wheels. hopefully i will take delivery next week between Christmas and New Year. Project 159 continues: Project 159, Version 2.4 Phil.
