Hi there, I'm new to the forum.
I used to have a T4. Great car, never let me down, comfy, practical and not too bad economy on the longer runs ;)

I sold it for too little so I could live in New Zealand. Lack of work brought me back and I thought I'd try a '98 Saab 9-5. I liked the look, and a friend had one and I found the cabin interesting. Unfortunatley after just over 4 months of ownership the engine siezed on me, no oil and no warning light either and I've scrapped over £2k :angry2:
So I've bought another V40, a 2.0T SE '01 and hope it will be as reliable as my last one. I got a great deal too so that's softened the blow a bit. Bought unseen, but it sounds good from what the dealer says, get it tomorrow :Banane32:

The forum has already proved useful in finding an independent specialist in Milton Keynes (last one had no history so a mate serviced it for me). Thought I'd say hi to you all, I'm not as passionate about my car as I am about my motorbike so I won't be the busiest poster!
