Dont be put off the 130's by the very misleading comment you always get one anti something on forums.The 130 is far better drive and much better on fuel than the 110 and you would have to be very very unlucky to have one go.Ive had several with no major problems at all and i currently own a 110 which will be the last 110 it is crap both to drive and on fuel in comparison.
The problem ake is talking about can happen to all the 2.2 engines even the lower powered ones right down to the 85 ps but dont let that influence your decision the 130 is a cracking engine and far far better than the 110 go and drive one before you dive in but do the checks i suggested.
