I know its been ages, and you were all so helpful when my dh wrote off his 2OO tdi.

We've faced that DH just doesn't have time or skill to fix it. Its sitting in a barn with the roof, windows and doors off and that's as far as he has got.

I did promise I'd report back if we decided to let it go...and we have. I'll probably put it on ebay but will also advertise here, because some of you seemed to think it was a fun project

(now the argument about what to replace with starts)
