I've had a 323f 1.5 GXi for about a month now, and am planning on servicing it soon.

Will it have hydraulic lifters and do they need any attention?

Secondly whats the idle speed on yours?? mines from 650rpm - 900rpm and revs erractically at tickover, is this normal and how's it adjusted?

cheers

Don't think you can adjust the 323's hydraulic tappets. Its the oil that does the work. A good quality semi synth oil (10X40w ?) will help. As for the tick over my 1.8 is about 750 to 800 on the clock but drops alittle when the A/C in on.
