Got more bits than Peugeot. A bit prone to head gasket troubles until they went to front mount intercoolers with the Hdi. The 2.1 TD is a a doable conversion too.

Black looks lovely but its a bugger to keep that way but I know you have a big pot of polish, have fun mate black cars are a get to keep clean. I used to have a black Ford Orion (showing my age now ) and it was beautiful once washed, t-cut and polished . However, after a few days and some rain it looked awful as it showed all the streaks etc . Good luck Mark, think you may need a few extra hours in the day mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like your doing, removing run flats would probs help as they are hard and don't suck up the bumps too well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haveugot1 0 Posted October 3, 2012 I always wanted an orion gear in blue mmm. Yeah removing the run flats should make for a softer ride. And ypur right about the black it never looks clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
