On a serious note, anything 2 litre and upwards thats over 12 years old is going for absolute peanuts atm. Soot chuckers too! A4 diseasel with a remap ftw!

there's some on the autotrader link on the second page I think, will get some better ones, it pulls well, interior is clean and smells nice, that's about it

A good looking motor - put coilies on the bottom of the list for it for the moment- it sits fairly low anyway and it has good suspension - a shame to ruin it. Put some new high quality oil and filter in it. Change the diesel filter often - if they get blocked it can cause odd problems that are hard to diagnose and can be expensive replacing stuff you didn't need to.

Sort the pump and turbo actuator for more power - but don't go silly or you will take the clutch out.

If it gets difficult to start in the mornings it is the glowplugs. (Wait for the glowplug light to go out before you try. That's easy - ignition on, put seatbelt on, then hit the starter).

Enjoy! A cracking motor IMO and a good buy. Well done.

gonna give it a service next weekend, and wind the turbo and pump out a little bit, I feel like james bond putting in the immobiliser code every time I start it  need to fit a boost gauge but unsure where to place it

better give this a bump 
£350 budget for a cheap runaround

All your gonna get for that is a clapped out Corsa, or a mk3 in need of a bit of work.
