Well it's done the bm has gone... A d a merc has arrived. I couldn't justify the new shape 520d they were about 5k more than I spent on the merc, and I got the bigger engine in the merc.

E350cdi coupe

Not sure if the car is me, first impressions are that, 90% of the money went on the engine... It has a massive lump of torque, in the wet you have to be careful but I think some of that is getting used to the box.

I know Andy I feel like an old man.

One thing I do like the idea of is that merc service the gearbox every 30k should have a better chance of it lasting longer...

I've only had estate cars for over 10 years. I don't understand why people buy none estate cars, just so flexible.

Ditto apart from it is 8 years for me, plus 3 years of Mini Clubman Estates aged 17-21ish!

As Wil says, I don't understand these days why you would pick the saloon. The estates handle just as well, in some cases are a better looking car. Fair enough in the early 80's they could be dreadful things with van engines leaf springs and other such medieval equipment but not so these days.

I do wish I had bought an estate when I got my current car, but he indoors wouldn't have it.

best was the last time it went in vauxhall in limp mdoe.

dealer "lots of short journeys can cause it to block up, do you do may"
me "not really, as the car has done nearly 30,000mile in 12 months"
dealer " had you done a long journey on the day it happened"
me "ye done about 180 miles that day why"
dealer " that will be the cause, a long time doing a constant speed"
me " ye ok"

what a messer *Clapping*
