[pete b]

hi, i have been looking for a 1.3 and not many have got power steering for under 1000. so i am just asking if you really need ps? is it that much harder than everyone makes out?

cheers pete

60k would be better, my (previous car) top timing chain was shot at 100000 and drank a bit of oil
and the obvious, front x member,sills etc
