get both.. the blue one is excellent for working on the mucky bits for all novas & the green one is adequate for the mk2 crap

didn't the earlier ones have the wrong torque setting for certain things?

yes, the realy early ones went on the original factory figures, which got revised... the later light blue one including 1400 & 1600 models is correct though

I payed £2.50 posted on ebay for an older on which is in mint condition and is better than new one as you dont get refitting is reversal of removal which is useless if you buy a car in bits lol

So what's the best one to get? It's 1993 1.2 Flair?

buy a light blue one that covers 1.4 & 1.6, as it goes into much greater depth of how to mend everything mechanical, and also the later green one as it covers the mk2 specific stuff.

i'm not joking. the green one has hardly any mechanical mending stuff in it at all, but it has all the electrical stuff covered in great detail

That's a good deal. A couple of years back they were costing me £3 to post. lol
