It's 72,000 miles or every 5 years. So your ok.

There is a PDF maintenance sheet on the forum somewhere I'll see if I can dig it out for you to download.

So what colour/model do you have ?

I managed to get a 2004 Silver 1.4 16v Eleganza version for £150 with 65k on the clock. Now done just under 71k.

Done a few little upgrades on it already, added the later style clear headlights (off a mk2 multipla), Silver Front Grille. Swapped the cig lighter for the power socket type and just basically cured a few small niggles it had. Runs great now.

Its a 54 plate 1.4 16v Eleganza in a Deep Metallic Red in immaculate condition looks like it came just off showroom floor, lots of history 83000 miles £450.

I was surprised how much room is actually in them when you look at them from the outside. Being 6'1" the headroom clearance I have is massive compared to other cars I've driven.

How you finding the wind deflectors on the windows ? Got to get myself some Heko ones, as I've had them on nearly every car I've ever owned lol

I like the wind deflectors,its got lots of cubby holes which is good. And its quite nippy as well.
