Weight! Something i never considered unbelievably. Anyone know the stats?
Plans are air ride all round and tuning whether engine conversion or mod the td5. I toyed with the idea of a 335d engine as well as i have the opportunity of one but id imagine electrics would be a nightmare.
Other than the above itll stay as it is now really

Hard luck, I crashed my work van twice in 10 minutes yesterday, Indicating right, some lad went to go past me as I turned, crash. No damage luckily so we left it at that, 5 mins later reversing down a dark ally and caught someone's wingmirror. Luckily no damage.. Oopsie. What's it gonna cost to fix? We're talking the nice white td5 right?

Well nearly a year on and shes still with me, albeit broken! It broke down one day in the summer. It was idling and just stopped dead. Wouldnt start again even when the AA had been out an played so got it recovered and as we unloaded it at the garage it fired straight up??? So instead of leaving it there I drove home again. Next journey out the oil pump failed so engine is pretty much toast. Its in my barn looking sorry for itself but now i have my new workshop ill make a start on reviving it, along with my other current projects!
