Aha, you can't
It's linked to how many posts you make and runs through 1.8, 2.0, Turbo, V6 etc. at 50, 250, 500 posts etc.
I don't think it's one of our best features but hey ho
Keep, err, posting

Re: wrong model on screen
In case you're bored....the 1.6 variant did exist but was not listed for the UK (I think they would have been laughed out of the country).
The 1.6 would have been a sluggish old beast especially as many note the 1.8's slight lack of get up and go
The weird thing is that many large-ish saloons would use more petrol wringing the neck out of the smaller engine so not sure what the thinking was there

You don't need that level of detail on you tax return now, do you
(Thinks: Might explain why I keep getting letters demanding to know my earnings etc. in the last 18 months, despite working for the same outfit for 27 years).
