just a quick question for anyone...
I have a UK Turbo 2000awd, first registered on 20th November 1998. So I was under the impression I have a MY98, but then some people say its a MY99. Is this correct? If its a MY99, that means I have about 215bhp standard as opposed to 208bhp - right???...

Most noticable difference is the front bumper; if it has little orange brake vents under the indicators then it's a MY99. If it has long horizontal front indicators with two similar slats below it's a MY98.
It's possible for a MY99 to be registered in 1998.

my MY95 is/was first registered Nov 94. MY95 model year was from Sep '94 to Aug '95. if the same guide applies to later cars then your car being november '98 registered would be an MY99 model. does that make sense?

My scoob was registered last year in July but is a classic shape (MY00), had lots of fun with the insurance company who were convinced that I had a Bugeye, because on there system it was a MY01.

As well as checking to see if it has a different bumper, or headlights etc the definative way is to check out the plate inside the engine bay on the passenger side strut tower. There will be an APPLIED MODEL CODE.
For the UK model 4 door MY98 this will be GC8FK8D and for the 4 door MT99 it will be GC8GK8D. The fourth digit give the model year. ie F=1998, G=1999.

Just open the bonnet 
If its a phase 2 engine (which an MY99 will be) then it will have a little rubber plug sticking out of (near the centre) of the engine, crystal effect lights (inc fogs) and 4 pot brakes.
An MY98 will have a phase 1 engine (which does look alittle different), 2 pot brakes and non-crystal lights. (plus isnt the intercooler different?)
