check out the "car buying guide" in the back of the Fast Ford Mags
I am sure you can get a back issue which covers the RST series 1

We ran a full buying guide on the Series 1 a while back that tells you all the stuff to look out for. I think it was dec '03 but i'm not 100%.
The back issues number is 01732 748084.
If you want a copy PM me to remind me and i'll check it's the right issue when i'm back in the office on thursday.
