Good estate, had it for 4 years and its never let me down, great workhorse, excellent for families or tradesmen with loads of room and very comfy. easy to drive around town with light steering and sits comfortably on motorway at high speeds.

GOOD POINTS
loads of history and reciepts
drives, starts and runs pefectly
NEVER let me down in my 4 years of ownership
integrated child booster seat
foldable dog guard fitted
low mileage for year (cant see why it wont do another 100,000 miles+ for new owner)

BAD POINTS
fag burn drivers seat
headlamp wash wiper blades need replaced
heater knob control cable snapped (permanently set to warm, cheap to fix but I never bothered)
petrol cap cover springy/clippy thing pinged off so placed in boot to avoid losing it - need new springy/clippy thing!
general scrapes and bruises typical for car of this age - but no serious dents or rust etc just the usual car park scars
fan belt squeals on cold start up sometimes, so probably needs new fan belt
needs a good clean :-)

excellent workhorse, only selling as I have just converted a van to camper and am hitting the road for a year or two, will honestly be sad to see it go, most dependable car I have ever owned

taxed and tested sep 2010 sailed through last MOT no advisories

all enquiries 07926368106 or admin@brakedisc.net thanks

Links are working, the images would probably be to big for attachments.

The photos are all close up and some further shots further back showing all sides would help.

Looks a good car you should find a buyer easily enough.

Couple of weeks ago, forum member 'emmdee' from north of Edinburgh was asking if anyone would check out a diesel estate nr Derby, as he did not want to make multiple trips to view and collect. Don't know if he has got fixed up with a car, but seeing as yours looks a nice car and the price is right and it's a bit closer than Derby. Is it worth getting in touch. Yes i know he was looking at a diesel, but maybe worth a try.
Cheers.

Thanks for the consideration, mate. Regrettably, this one ain't a diesel, and a diesel is what I'm after. Crying shame, cos I'd have had his hand off...

Good luck with the sale!
