This car is going great, and is halfway through its facelift at the moment! More to come soon....

Looking good, Ade

What happened to your other?

Rocking an 850TDi myself now, makes me wonder why I stuck with the D24 for so long!

Cheers!

Was involved in a bump.... Could have fixed it as the shell wasn't structurally effected, but when this popped up it seemed like a no brainer to start afresh with half the miles etc instead and all my good stuff swapped over.

How does the D24 compare you think?

Ah well, fair enough Fella.

The D24 was great when it worked properly, and had loads more character, not to mention right wheel drive.

But the AEL has LOADS more grunt, doesn't grumble so much when it's cold and is epic on fuel

Oh, selling my Capri. Fancy another?! Lol

Always thought a D24 might be a bit sluggish.... and not as good on fuel.

One Capri is more than enough, ta!
