I've read lots about piston slap on 97/98MY

But there seem to be a number of cars suffering piston/crank/'big end' trouble from the 'phase 2 engined' 99MY cars onwards.

Have YOU had problems ? :-

(2) AT xx,xxx MILES

(3) MODS ON CAR (N/A if you'd rather not say or don't know)

(4) UK OR IMPORT MODEL
