    I bet it's a Ferrari really. Or an Aston.

    I was going to say something appropriately rude in response. But I'm far too polite for that (cheeky bugger!) .

    Not going now. Just checked out the price of replacing electronic injectors, £250 each and timing belts £500 --- monstrous!!

    Will look for an old SOHC 1.9 Berlingo or Golf diesel I think.

    A friend has a Berlingo and swears by it. Of course he'll be swearing at it when it finally packs in. He can get his bass cabs in it, though, and it was very cheap.
