If it's a pre-facelift, as I think yours is, it's 177bhp, well actually it's 177PS or 175bhp .
The 184PS version which is Euro4 compliant as opposed to the Euro3 compliant 177PS version, came out on the facelift.
That'll be the same as mine, a May 2004 MY
This is the earlier 177 PS engine
If you need any of the specifications I now have copies on Adobe Acrobat of the sales brochure and handbook
Note that as an estate yours MUST have eitehr :
215/50 R 17 95 XL
or
225/45 R 17 94 XL
tyres, and if you look closely in the handbook you will note rather subtle tyre pressure differences too!
** Don't let the tyre pressures go below 35 as the outer edges will wear out faster **
I noticed this on a recent test, the wear rate was worse than expected
