There's a nice 2.2 hdi Exec Silver Estate in Cannock. Ex Motor show car with 73k for £2990.

Did you go look at that one Stu?

Didn't go in the end. Was going to be a day to go have a look, another day to go get it, another day swapping the rear seats from mine into it, another day to deFAP so it was starting to look expensive in terms of time aswell as money.

Had the dent man round to look at mine Monday & he managed to get rid of nearly all of them. Plus the ABS fault came up again & this time I reckon the reluctor rings are well shot. If I've got to spend out more money fixing mine, I'm just going to lose more if I sell it.

Reckon on sticking with what I've got for a while & if I get to a point where I'm a dead cert not to need the 7 seats, I may yet go back to the C5 idea, but by then I'll probably be looking at a 2.0 136 or 2.2 170 model instead.

Maybe that's what I need to do then. Spent a lot & she treated me like sh*te.

I concur, and glad to see you keep the chariot for a bit longer

You got to be careful with these 406's, hell, the only time mine broke down was when we was coming back from a day out, and we was looking at other cars as we drove along saying which we'd have
Think I hurt the cars feelings

Came across an eye opener concerning the VW Golfs today....

A regular customer had his ESP warning light on, took it to my mate for diagnostics and found this......
