I bought mine off fleabay, quality is ok, the driver's side mat does not have the eyelet so that it locks in position. They are approx £72 from the main dealers, I got my set for £23 inc P&P. Good luck.

Brother, £5k sounds ok to me. If you want a really quick sale try pitching it under £5k, say around £4850. You have one of the best colours there so that's a plus point - at least it isnt that british racing green colour!! GOOD LUCK

sorry to here that brother... The matiz is :tsktsk: btw... lol...

Firstly i must say the refurb job looks superb!!! HOWEVER i'm not quite feeling the finish you decided on going for.. It MAY have looked nice on a white is200 but does suit your metallic blue. Just my opinion though....

I've heard that also, having the heated seats on & Bthe climate control set to AUTO in Winter (so it's contantly on full fan speed) can reduce your fuel consumption. Since I heard this I don't switch the heated seats on!!! I know I'm a miser :D Back on topic. It costs me £50 to top up (i use the normal 95ron at my local Tesco) - I get 250miles until the reserve light illuminates. I'm interested in the 'SNOW' button method & also someone mentioned the o2 sensor replacement. I have tried the snow button as I was curious, I actually planned to use it for a full tank. I couldn't take it!!! When you activate the SNOW function it seems to 'strangle' the car's performance dramatically... I've also heard that you shouldn't run your tank dry as all the impurities that accumulate at the bottom of the tank over time find their way into your fuel lines and cause all manner of misfires/damage.. Just thought I'd give my 2 pennies worth. Gold

I don't think, its anything to worry about. I too have a 99 SE model and have rust on the seam in the engine bay on both ns & os. It's on a flat surface in my engine bay, so it may be there due to water settlment as any gathering water cannot 'runoff'.
