keep an eye on here for a good one mate, as for the one your looking at then i would say that  you should walk away. Dont consider anything that cannot provide any documentaion on BELT AND ROLLER change within the 40,000 mile/4 year spec. Ignor the published guide of 80,000 as vx changed it after roller failure, you will get a good one just dont be too hasty. Best regards Gary.

Great advice there and not being hasty is the first rule of buying a vehicle.

Why did he change belt without rollers? Muppet. Bet he didn't use the timing kit either.

Cambelt kit is about £90 on tradeclub, and is DIY job - I'm sure the Derby locals could lend you a locking kit...   ...worth doing water pump as well for the £25, plus tenner for antifreeze...
