I fear I may of offended Mr Donkins southern sensibilities, sorry Ian but words like that are just a term of endearment oop North. :) Brilliant Mike, truly brilliant.

Ian Donkin on here has also owned one and covered a few miles in it - he's another advocate for them. Yes I am! I used mine as a daily drive for 19,000 miles in no time (and no time ;-)) at all - a brilliant and exceptionally capable car your granny could drive IMHO. And don't be scared off by mile...

If the Dave Dennet car, didn't that used to be a blue shell that was specially lightened, but had no proof of providence? I seem to remember Colin Belton suggesting to me years ago that the shell started out uber cheap to Dave, but then rocketed when there became a suggestion that it could be quite ...

Charlotte couldn't get the Range Rover out of her head so we bought a sub 40k '03 4.4 petrol Vogue in August this year to replace an '07 VW Touareg V6 TDI. It's now on LPG and apart from a cam position sender (known BMW fault) and alternator (see cam position sender) it has been kind to us thus far....

My old 525D Touring had a turbo (at 132,000 miles) - totally gutless when the old one failed; I mean lethargic like you can't imagine. I sourced a brand new turbo from a friend in the trade for less than £500 and my local indie at the time (ex BMW franchise) fitted it for about £180 all in with an o...

I have no design advice to offer whatsoever, but as per one of Steve's earlier points, if I was being asked to lay down the money to pay for it (assuming I had the funds), I'd be more than happy to part with my cash. I'm sure this is going to be just fabulous 8) and after all, what's wrong with bene...
