cheers James so it could be from a golf just 14 years earlier than seller said. Runs really well though no oil leak and starts every time. Amazed that its only 80hp,its not fast by any means but keeps up fine with the traffic.

syncroandy has a SB engine in his single cab. nice small little engine with a little bit more power than an aaz, enven though its a 1.6. may be worth droping andy a pm and you will get some real advice on this engine. i know he is in the process of upgrading it to a something more powerfull.
