Splurge!!!!

If they have ESP, shouldnt they know there is a potential problem coming sometime in the future,and flash a warning light or something?

The batteries you get (or used to) at Kwik-Fit were 2 in 1. round normal posts,but if you levered them off, they had the Ford square posts underneath. I'm sure they were Exide batteries.

Yeeah! Another fan of old Mercs Currently got a 190D,previous were C200,W124 230E and a 190D 2.5. All were cheap and FABWont join in the luv of mister twos though. X1/9's forever!!!

The slug,taken in the snow today.. My old 518 Touring My LPG'd 300,000 mile Primera £100 quid Galant W124 230E in the snow 2.5 TD Shogun in the snow... All the above cost me WELL under a grand each..

'nother one here.. http://dundee.gumtree.com/dundee/16/51843616.html

I used to work in the dealership in Dingwall when those were new, changed loads of rear diff's under warranty,LSD standard if I remember.? PITA to change the plugs too, but otherwise were fairly good. Loved the Karmann edition with the colour coded bullbars...

Saabs and Volvo's are excellent in the snow,just need the right tyres! I even managed 3 miles of single track in my 190D today,of 5" of snow and packed ice.. Its all about tyres!!Watch this!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSZLSfBDyhsA 900 drived by the master...

Nobody mentioned the Ford Explorer yet? Superb towcar! I had a TD Grand Cherokee for a bit,laredo spec. Towed well, over 30MPG and no issues at all,better than a RR IMO,had one of those too...broke my heart. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-Ford-Explore ... 3a55b9fca6

a bit,but far better than an HDi IMO.

Good choice! We loved ours! gotta be a non HDi one tho.

Merc 190d. I do 15,000 miles a year in comfort,46MPG and 100% reliablility.Plus I got a star on the bonnet!!

The 1.4 is the TU engine, so the manifolds at the front, 3 nuts, 1 allen key into the gearbox,and the rest is easy. Good point about not using sealer before the CAT though!

Beevers still do 'em, but over £90 each! http://www.beeversautopanels.co.uk/

How about a E34 525TDS touring? few nice ones still around or an E28 525i Eta.. very long legged! or a Volvo 850TDi estate-luvley.

Bloody hell, its the flying turd! I have a feeling you know someone I know!!

Couple of nice ones on ebay just now. been keeping note of economy lately... 46.6MPG on chip fat oil... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IThttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

I remember seeing a 2.9 VR6 engined Lupo at a car show once, looked factory too, but it was mm perfect! Found a pic... This is the same as my car, wonderful to work on-loads of room, but never needs anything! Today I worked on an A3 3.2 V6 Quattro. I had to use a funnel to top up the brake fluid!,but even that was more accessible than a clio resovoir
