Welcome in Matt

Is that your name, or are you just excited about a 5th? :)

Good luck

If your looking for a 5th gen then it needs to be a type s. If you can't find a decent one, then you need to get one with a h22a8 engine. The later models were fitted with this. Nearly 2oo bhp. When looking for engine numbers, look for the stamping on the block, to the lower left of the exhaust manifold. Things to look out for. Rust on the rear arches, make sure the abs light illuminates then goes out about four seconds later, same with air bag light and 4ws light. Make sure they do not come back on during the test drive. Although these are relatively easy fixes. Check for damp in the boot too as the rear lights can leak water in. Welcome aboard.
