Sorry mate, I don't think it will and looking at gatos repair link, the jos is slightly easier in the Phase 2, as it is done from inside the car.

Good luck anyway!

I've just checked the oil today this morning, and it wasn't even reading on the dipstick. So i quickly put a litre of oil and will check again soon.
Also have ordered the gear linkage bush kit from ebay £13.75 plus £1.70 postage, and will get my local guy to fit next sat.

Also just found out it doesn't have air con, suprised when it has heated seats, elec sunroof, trip computer and so on.

Hyvaa is right

You normally see this style of alloy with the wheelnuts exposed, as the owner has either damaged / lost them, or they have been stolen.

They are available on ebay, but it seems that people just don't bother to replace them.
