I've been thinking of a Volvo V70 estate as an interim for the next few years. Ultimately I would like a Jaguar Sportbrake to replace my Omega estate.

After speaking to you, I would cross off a stainless steel exhaust from any list you've made, as you will never be happy with the sound it makes Brian |

mss, I was looking at the Jaguar XF.......until I read Jims thread on the Social forum. that and the fact that my daughter in law has just got a brand new Jaguar EX that sounds like an old tractor and feels as well screwed together as an MFI kitchen has put me off. The body side trim fell off her new jag the other day: she has only had the car a month.

I need: * 2 new lower suspension arms = £180 * a new master cylinder = £90 * lower engine mount = £40 * Full exhaust = £400 * 160 Remap = £140 (I wonder where I could get that done ) * 4 wheel tracking = £60 The lower arms are knocking like mad. The clutch bites 1/2" from the floor and needs topping up The lower mount is knackered and has knackered the exhaust flex see above and the back box is blowing My bum makes a squeeky noise when I pull out of side roads The handling is shot and it trashing the outside edge of, otherwise good tyres. Oh yes! and I need to fit a tow bar (I've got 2 of those but I find they work best when fitted to the back of the car). |

So do you think that you won't have to spend anything on the Mercedes once you've bought it? You may be mistaken.

I've been thinking of a Volvo V70 with the 2.4 D5 engine in the interim for the simple reason that it is a 5-cylinder diesel and makes nice noise. This thread got me thinking about the E-Class as an alternative and this afternoon I went to look at a 54 E270 Avantgarde with just under 150k miles. I have to say that it is a very nice car. Yet, in terms of rust protection around the wheelarches, it is way inferior to the 75 or indeed the 45. Yet I may still consider it an a replacement for the Omega until I get my Sportbrake. |
