haynes only made manuals for 94-99 models, tho the mechanicals are basiacally the same, only the interior trim and some extras only found on f/l models not in manual.

ahhh i see i did toy with the idea of buying the older one but the fact it didnt have 2.2 engines on the front put me off a bit

AFAIK the 2.2 is the 2.0 with a longer stroke - someone correct me otherwise.

Pfl Haynes is def worth having, 2.2 is drive by wire, so different throttle body etc.

Where's Tunnie? He has two thirds of the experience on these  ;)

fine engine the 2.2, unlike the V6  :P :P

Make sure throttle body is clean, follow the guide  :y

The little breather pipe from the throttle body to the cam cover can easily block, its cheaper to buy a new one than clean it, they are about 70p from a dealer!

Fresh oil really, really makes a noticeable difference on them I change mine every 3k, good coolant maintenance as well as if you leave it the HG can go
