That was only fitted to the later mk3's
It was a good fun engine in the 500 I had for a while though

I reckon somebody syphoned half your tank, unless you left it idling over the weekend
Eh? Must have missed something there.That's why you ALWAYS put the best tyres on the rear

I still don't get this best tyres on the back business. All FWD cars have 70%-ish of braking through the front tyres; 100% of the steering through the front tyres and 100% of the drive through the front tyres. All the back ones do is stop the a**e end from dragging along the ground.Stops you from potentially loosing the rear end and over steering sideways into something and killing yourself.

In 40 years of driving I've never had a front wheel drive car go sideways unless I provoked it on snow or ice. Opel Kadett 1300S. Alfasud Sprint, several different Corsas, Astras, Cavaliers, Vectras, Metros/Rover 100s, Rover 200s, Fiestas, Focus, Puntos, Stilos, Panda, Lancia Y10 Turbo, Delta 1.6 GT, Delta 1.6 HF Turbo, Hyundai i30, Zafiras, Golfs, Alfa 156, Giulietta and many more.
The FWD bias of these cars is why the front tyres wear out quicker than the rears. It's also why you rotate the tyres of a RWD car but swap front to back on FWD.
If I go into a bend too quickly in the Panda I'll just go straight on and the less tread I have on the front tyres the more likely I am to go straight on, in which case the rear tyres can be made of polystyrene for all the good they'll do.
Impressive video, but a 'commercial' nevertheless.
Sorry I don't follow. They're not selling you something extra to have the new tyres fitted to the rear. It doesn't make them any more money.
I'm with Wee Smurf - I like to change all four at the same time. What really gets under my skin is to see a variety of mismatched tyre patterns on one car - often with obvious pressure differences. That's not just asking for trouble, it's trouble that you or me could be on the receiving end of.
That doesn't surprise me, the 100HP isn't a quick car in a straight line. It's faster than your average horrid little eco-box, but that's about it. Most modern 2.0 diesels, even in big, heavy cars, will smoke a 100HP in a straight line (both in acceleration and maximum speed). That said, the 100HP will sit in lane 3 of any UK motorway and only have to get out of the way of stuff that's doing "banned if caught" speeds. It'll happily keep up with your average Mr.Rep-Mobile in his 320d or A4 2.0TDi.Just did a bit of googling which confirms what I suspected that a MJ may be only a whisker slower at top end than a 100hp .Euro users have vids posted of the 200kmh(125mph)' limit 'on speedo almost being reached .
