Love the car, but the new locks make it look like it has been stolen at some point, sorry. Overall still love it!

Damn these 1.6 engines always self destruct!

Ryan while engine is out put a quick rack in, makes a big difference on Novas

Edit: there is a few quid to be made from the dead engine as well so don't scrap it, powerbox, lexmaul 4-2-1, flat flywheel etc.

Go to the scrappy and take the rack off a Corsa B with EPS, then put your nova track rods and track rod ends onto the Corsa rack

I've done this on the wide arch, cost me £20

Definitely, its about 2.8 turn to turn now, much better than 4 on the Nova rack

Much easier to turn and feels more direct
