Oh gees, there's nothing worse is there than parting with a car and then missing it :cry:

There's plenty around on Autotrader but I'll offer one bit of my own advice (which I would follow should I need to) and that would be to seek out a nice late R/S reg 2.1 12valve turbo d. Nice and simple, cheap, mappable, and you should have a budget there for odd niggles like suspension parts etc. Things like rear brake back plates have become an issue as have radiators but by and large they're a decent motor; but as I said that's only what I would do (had a bit of trouble with my HDi :( )

Opps, missed you there :oops: Welcome to the klub :cheesy:

I don't think a 2.1 counts as late, they stopped making them in 1999 so they're all 11+ old. Having said that though, if I could find a mint one that's been well looked after and has good history I'd quite happily swap it for my HDi.
