WTF you expect at 100,000miles mate?
so do you expect to pick up a 40,000 miler with full service history and one careful pensioner owner for £500 get real, it will be a high miler like all the rest of them, i looked into getting one of these before the rs and was put way off by the bottom end thing as i dont have a garage to work on it in, they all go at the bottom end and they are known to do it early, just if it hasnt it will when it comes to near the 100k mark, also the turbo oil feed pipes had an early on problem with getting blocked with crud

best place for info on them is the sx owners club www.sxoc.co.uk
