hateful, hateful things.... just horrible

i have one on my books and it makes me shudder every time I have to clean it

friend had one which they had to write off after they were quote £700 for a recon somethingorrather which would normally be a reasonable cost in another car, chuff knows what it was but i have erased it from my memory :laugh:

also... they had to have their subframe replaced but that was under recall... which has now ended.

Post by: Gavv8 on 24 March 2012, 07:06: I had one for 4 years and it was a reliable and useful motor, i'd have trusted that thing to go anywhere.

:grin:

Trying to find something half decent!

Are the pumps that expensive to buy? Fitting is no worries and know someone who will program it for me if needs be.

Zafiras, Scenics, Xsara's etc are all mega cheap to insure. Scenics are total crap and not too sure I'd like a Citroen. Then you got the bigger cars like the Chrysler Voyager (although what the diesels are like I'm not sure), Vito's, etc and all £££. Toyota Previas were about 5 times the cost of a MK3 GTI 16v. :shocked:

aah yes... thats what it was... yes... they are about £6-700 for a recon unit.

Title: Re: The time has come . . . . . almost
Post by: Bellend on 24 March 2012, 11:28: £700. :shocked:

I need a van basically and the bigger the better. Unfortunately even a Fiesta van is about £3 grand to insure when, say a Zafira, is just under £1200.

If not it will probably be a MK3 TDI estate. All the MK4 estates in budget have done a billion miles.

Post by: Kerrse on 24 March 2012, 11:43: I don't understand all the diesel hate lol I love my Scirocco certainly not a slow car by any means 205bhp with a crazy amount of torque, modern diesels are the way forward :cool:

Post by: Bellend on 24 March 2012, 11:52: Chuff, if you have any experience with them, are 2l Di Zafira's slow?

Another £500 for the DTi. :shocked:
