I'm guessing there is a good chance there could well have been a break-in via the rear doors.

Just sent this to him:

"Hi, i might be interested, could you tell me a little more about her, like colour? has she had a respray? service history? any accident damage etc?

Depending on condition and spec, i might be looking to part ex my younger model with less milage and previous owners.

Also is there any chance i can get a few pictures of the work carried out on her, to check workmanship etc?

Cheers
Greg"

I promise to post up any replies and or pictures!

hehe

This takes me back!smile Years ago on the vauxhall website, Migweb, someone posted a very similar advert. Cue lots of comments about re-bores to accept oversized pistons, are the airbags a decent size and in good working order etc etc.

It's often found in conjunction with flange wear and extensive head work.

With 14 previous owners I think she might have been bored enough so really no worries about splitting the chamber.
