I know Stan, that's why I asked for recommendations. I have searched but I know nothing about modern cars and would not buy one for myself!

Me neever and with the probs we have been having wiv the TD5 i started thinking about this too!
Maybe time to start using all those websites that do reviews and stuff.
Otherwise you spend hours doing test drives and generally getting annoyed!
Think if the sh!t hit the fan I'd go for an older Volvo. But so many newer cars seem to be so sh!t fro m what I've heard.

For that money you could buy three or more, then you'd always have one going while you repaired the other two, or three!

Go for low miles instead of age.

But you’ll spend every day polishing it while hoping the doors stay on

I did look at Land Rovers but I don't think she would appreciate one

She has a Koleos and there a few that meet the criteria. I just was looking for any others before committing really

While you have your erection stuff handy you may want to sort out the neighbor's chimney it looks like it could need some TLC.

Guid evening
TGIF
Busy day and Im knackered
Mega shop this morning Lidl; B&M; Chinese Supermarket in Glasgow (variety is the spice of life)
Then sprayed the last of the wheels on the wife's car. Before during and after pics. Not brilliant but good enough for the price of rattle cans and elbow grease.
Then collected brambles, do it every year and make bramble Jam, tommorow's job.
Then helped a friend of the wife move house, its in the same cul de sac so 4 hours of manual labour including being fed and watered.
Added red stripes to 3 out of 4 wheels, will do the 4th tomorrow after paint hardens.
Oh dinner on the table must go.

What that I got to work in a cool garage.
Have to look for another expensive code reader.
It at least actually makes great coffee.
Or its Friday.

I very rarely complain, I woke up this morning life is good.

It makes great coffee is the real bonus seeing as that is what it was supposed to be.
