I think there is a tendency to be a bit more relaxed in one's viewpoint when you have such resources available.

I think that's a good point. The same problems can affect people in different ways. If one has a spare car, plenty of time and time to wait for spares/advice it can give you a different outlook than if you have limited time, resources and no spare car.

Our 01 CDT is now showing 184,000 odd, we got it at 166,000, I have serviced it once and changed the oil & filter twice all it's needed outside of this are 2 tyres, a rear wheel bearing and because of the wifes love of driving it with no fuel in, both fuel pumps (cheepies off ebay) had she not done so I think the originals would still be running fine..

It's not mollycoddled and I don't think it was by the previous owner either..

The V6 we just sold was basically the same with a couple of irksome little issues, but no major scares at all..
