Cut my losses and bought another replacement Tourer

My 04 Diesel Facelift tourer had a major meldown today and started belching white smoke and misfiring, as it also needs a clutch and I need a car real bad, I have bought this blind, I can reject it if not as described, I live in Devon and its coming from Birmingham, it looks pretty good to me and I always preffered the MK1 :-)

Very low mileage - hope it fits the bill and gives you more years of great motoring.

If the rear wiper is all you need to fix then that looks fine.

Wish you the best of luck with it. Looks OK in that video.

Only time will tell how it drives.---Happy motoring.--

Seems a lot to pay but if it is as good as the description and proves to be reliable then I guess you will have done OK.

I bought my V6 tourer unseen for £1100 four years ago and have had to do liitle to it over 17K miles, rear spring, cam belts and a sill patch so I feel quite satisfied.
