What is it ?
Some kind of VX badged Peugeot ? 

...........
Vauxhall Grandland I believe.......

A Mokka.    Just shows how unfamiliar I am with all of these later SUV types. 

It's a corsa on stilts

[STEMO]

Gen 3 engines had the chain (EB2LTEDH2), gen 2 the belt (EB2DTS), you can't really go based on year as there was a time they were fitting both (dependent on if it was MHEV or not).

Short of a cylinder still though (I would argue short of three at least  )

[STEMO]

We buy any car (as long as you don't mind be anally raped) offered me £3880 for my grandland. That's before they saw the chip in the windscreen, the bit of lacquer missing from the bonnet due to bird poo, etc., etc. The dealer, who I made aware of the above, gave me £4500.
So that's my 18 plate 1.6 gone and I'll have the wife's 21 plate 1.5. (With the problematic 7mm chain) Took it in for the recall yesterday and was told it was fine, but I must use the correct oil (£67 for 5l)

I've told her (yeah, right ) that the mokka will have to last her the 4.5 years till she retires. Then, if I'm still standing, we can buy a berlingo or something

Sounds good going from a 2018 car to a 2021 car.

 Being a 'diesel still I die' fella presumably your new 21 plate car also runs on derv.

It is, yes, and back to auto from manual.

If only 3 pots a 2458cc  Triumph Rocket 3 lump might pep it up a bit.
