   whats your mileage?
   
   i didnt bother changing them and they ran fine, however you really need the cams put to see the condition of the followers.
   
   if you're feeling lucky then just chuck the 708's in
   
   springs will be fine

    my mate has a c2 vts and its nothing compared to the saxo vts!!
    why put a new engine in as im only gonna use it occasionally as i have another car and ive recently changed most of it anyway so its like new

    you didnt say you had changed everything though, just that it had 14ok on. i said change to the c2 engine as its more powerful to start with.
