The GTS quite a way down the page, apparently it's a Rev 3 with 63k on the clock.

Cheers

From a dealers thats hell of a good price.

[Quigonjay]

is it just me or do those side strips look unpainted? (as in rev1/2 stylee)
ask him for a pic of the engine bay mate and ask what it says on the seat belt tags, no tags = be suspicious and refer to point 1

[ste_brough]

What should I be lookin for in the engine bay and on the seatbelt tags? Gonna view it today...

[freak_in_cage]

i guess hes suggesting that its actually a rev 1 or 2????

make as many notes as u can on it, copy down any serial numbers u can find and do a bit of research to make sure its rev 3!

do a search, u should find out ways to tell the difference between rev 1, 2 and 3

on the seatbelts there should be a tag near the end closest to the fixing point on the floor, the tag SHOULD have year of manufactur on it.
Take a camera with you and take a pic of the engine bay, then post it on here and we can tell you what rev it is
Failing that, when you look in the engine bay, have a look at the pipe that goes from the air box to the turbo, if there is a fist sized metal box in the middle of that pipe (an air flow meter) prop not a rev 3

[Quigonjay]

heres a pic of rev 2 engine with air flow meter marked



and a rev 3 engine for comparison

[Baker]

rev 1/2 that is i think

apart from the obvious orange indicators it sits too high for a rev 3.

[ENSMR2]

Looks like he is listing the rear lights as a mod? In which case I'd believe it was a rev 1/2.

Call and ask mate.

no side repeaters on the wing either.

I don't know what year they came in, but my rev3 GTS has them.

But I notice the advert isn't claiming a year or revision - just L reg, and the DVLA can get this wrong.

Looks a pretty good Rev 3 rep if it is, the spoiler's a right pig to swap from Rev 1/2.

Easiest way to tell is open the bonnet and see if there's an air flow meter on it. If there is then it's not a Rev 3. No AFM and a catch can means Rev 3

Unless someone's gone to an awful lot of trouble dropping a rev 3 lump in!
