twiss you have a 1.6 16v what's the problem? lol just trundle along at 50 and shell be fine, I wouldn't do it in mine cause of the fact that mine screams at me to do 50, which is why I'm going 1.6, does anyone know what revs a 1.6 8v does at 50 in 5th gear on a 413 box?

To be honest, I get bored trundling at 50 for hours... and its not the engine i'm worried about, its my cheap 2nd hand gearbox and noisy diff im worried about ;)
