hehe yeah, i was referring to the chequerplate (or however you spell it!)

I did notice a small rust hole in the chassis, in the driver side rear wheelwell.. otherwise its sound.. and fairly clean.

If I said it was £4000 as described in previous posts, what would your thought be? its got 112000 miles, no tax or test (may come with a years test) and all the gubbins i was on about.. average interior..

i like td5 more power, chain driven and lie you say if you aren't going wading you shouldn't have any problems with ECU.

But 200/300 are easier to repair, and cheaper for low milage. But beware not all ,milages are genuine so don't hedge urs bets and spend a fortune because of a low milage look at general condition.

30,000 miles with little care it as good as 200,000 well cared for and serviced...

My main concern was corrosion, so my thoughts were to go for something newer if possible, as it has had less time to rot.. most modern engines are good to the moon and back, so assumed (yeah, i know assumptions are the mother of all f**k ups!!) that the engines are lower on the list of worries..

not a bad assumption to make mate. Like i said I'd check both u can't go nowhere without a chassis or same goes with an engine. bad news though new does not mean no rust. care to clean it properly/get it waxoled etc make it not rusty.
