Also, I don't like diesels. Never had one, never will.

The OP lives in Yorkshire, not London.
Re not liking diesels, you really don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never had one.
To the OP - you mentioned R-design - that’s on the later cars, not the 2000 - 2007 P2’s.
Do your research on here, look for one that’s been well maintained and you’re unlikely to have many regrets. Before I bought my XC70 I found a 2002 V70 D5 for £800. It had full service history and had 8 cam belt changes. Just over 800,000 miles on the original engine. One clutch, same gearbox.
