also if you do end up witj the dv6 engine make sure ypu use low saps engine oil. ive done around 25k in mine in the past year with out issue but regular services
I didn't think the 307 is that bad, when they first came out I had a brand new one from pug for a month and it converted me to derv, I guess they have problems like all cars. 306's have their issues but everyone overlooks them.
I guess the 1.6 and 2.0 110's are in the same tax band as produces the same bhp, I guess the 2.0 is doing less work to get the 110? I will have a look now

Thats bollocks, the 1.8 is a very reliable engine. Not often are they in with problems
I know I know mate but the last straw was I bought a Bosch kit, had the pump refurbed and the courier broke it, if the pump was ok the car would be running now and I'd throw MYA in for MOT as I'm sure she would pass. After the time, money & effort spent on it by Zach and myself and the uncertainty of the MOT, I was told to cut my losses, get a new reliable car and she was too small for the family
MYA has been one of the most reliable cars I've even owed, just service and fill with fuel, the last MOT I had a few things to do to get her through (remember changing the struts & springs in kwik-fits car park on a cold Sunday Connor ) but apart from that she has flown through for the last 4 yrs
