My 2nd D8 1.9TD (New Pics)

[lozz]

Ithink youve done well there gaz,

it will last you years mate,


ive just sold my 407, sick to death of seeing scratches on it, gets abit upsetting after paying daft money for it, (Fecking kids with bikes and sticks
iwill be staying with My Ebay bargain car, me thinks, no more expensive cars for me,

[Gary406]

ye defo happy with this one for now. glad i got this over a D9 HDi. maybe 1 day i will own a D9 Hdi but for now its a no no. i prefere the xud engine anyday.

[lozz]

Hdi s are awesome mate,
its just the Higher insurance bracket thats the downfall ithink,

hence why igot another Hdi but in a smaller tin

[Gary406]

my insurance stayed the same on a 2001 51 plate HDi 90 estate. (the one i was gonna buy 1st in december) but decided not to because of an anti pollution fault ...

The d9s come up high by my insurer feck knows why,
a d8 was half the price, My guess as to why D8 prices are rising,

seen a R plate, 1.9 xud lx full of dents upforsale at £995 and it was sold in under a day,
plenty of d9s about, they seem alot harder to sell -up where ilive,

clutch done. and bottom engine mount.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE

[lozz]

Excellent, ibet youve got some extra power now

[Gary406]

yep much better, just glad the judder has gone. the bottom mount was torn all around it was a complete mess.
i think the clutch judder had well and truely killed it completely.

[jonsowman]

Good stuff Gary. Did you do the job yourself?

[Gary406]

no mate. im not that good yet

a friend of jasper5 did it for me mate. i watched him do it all though so i know the ropes. just not got the balls to tackle it myself yet

[Gary406]

ordered misel some LEGAL number plates (for a change) i'm taking my clutch fitters advice before its too late and i end up getting a fine from the rozzers.

no borders. no slogans. no side GB badges. just plain simple 3D resin plates that will go nicely in my surrounds
