I did look into it for 7K I could get an 01/02 with minimum of 70K miles but, unfortuanately the wife will have to drive it as well and she finds it too big also, I'm not sure I would feel safe letting her drive a RWd in the winter . In my next life I'll stay signle

Well, the Zed will have to go and I'm looking to down size "with fun", 4 seater, 40mpg, i'm indicided if spending a bit more money now and get something decent and keep it standard or getting something cheaper and spend the cash on mod, having only 7K to spend the option to get a decent car is disappearing so I though to go something cheaper like fabia VRS sort of car and re map to 165bhp and 270ft/lb to start with, or if the missus fancy, maby an octavia which should be good for at least 180bhp. Cheap, boring and ugly cars I know but if I save now I might be able to go back into proper sport cars in couple of years

that bad ............... Will keep looking

Could anyoneshare thought on Nissan Almera 2.2TDI '00 onwards So far I know that it's fairly fugly and when cheaped can reach 193bhp which sound good Anything else? Thanks

I had a go at thighting all the bits in the angine bay,like batteries filter etc.. everything seems ok and I had no issues yesterday I might just pop into Japex for a pace of mind

Hi and Welcome I'll soon have to give up mine due to a need for a four seater , it's a JDM 03 imported in 06, ST(equals to a GT in the UK, leather heated seats, auto folding mirrors etc..), 60K miles, got it from a member on here 2 years ago. Have a look at my signature for pictures (the front bumper is now scrathced), bang on on budget for you

thanks mate I dont think it's the samee issue but the first link it's probably the closer one to my problem except that mine doesnt shut while driving and doesnt stutter, however, I'll have a look at battery and filter in the morning

Same here on mpg, I had to switch to get more juice in rather than increase mpg

No idea, Ithought it could be down to the fuel pump or something ( which Alfa did you have?)

Hppened 4 times in 2 days now Only when approacing roundabouts or traffic ligths, if I down shift it's fine but, if I slow donwn with the car in gear and the clutch pressed the car smoothly switch off, no warning lights or any funny things, I reach the stop and the engine is off (only the inignition lights are on as when you turn the key without turning the engine on), happen earlyer on but I did noticed before reaching the stop, I gave it some gas and the engine re started with a bit of a "turbo lag" effect. Doesn't happen all the time and when it does happen the car re starts with no proble, the only thing that I reacently changed is that I now fill up on normal petrol rather than 99. Any ideas?? Thank

Not a fan of the stickers but love the wheels and the overall look

Last time I saw them here http://www.thezstore.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT

I owed a VW MK4 GTI good and realiable car but got bored as I needed something with a kick, don't like the look of the MK5, and the ST which is something that I would be considering won't save much much on petrol ( for what I've been told ) CrumbMC- I know what you're meaning and I'll probably still here next year Skoda VRS MK1? Reviews seems good, main down point seems to be the luck of responces throught the stearing wheel when pushed which, apparenlty it's fixebla with some coilovers or other tricks

You finished yet?

Try Tom at http://www.lemass.co.uk/ Niece guy & fair prices, bit of a pain to get from the bodyshop to the station but once there you're straight on the met line

Not a beauty but a family A4 RS SW Cabrio?

Welcome

Stagea?

I can guess and I'm afraid that you could be right too

Thank you all for the the options and opinions Ozz- I'll be keeping the Z until August when I'll have it all paid off RT- All good points on your last post, I guess I'll have to do some mats, did you come up with a replacement for the S2K? Ricey- that could be an option, is the 2L model? Still a Jap, and could be plaing with it on look and bhp ( cant resist ) Martin- I'll miss Japfest this year because is the week before the wedding and wales is on my wedding day, but I'll be coming along to the others for sure I know that beggers cant be choosers but BMW doesn't really do it for me unless it'd an E30 or M3 but I guess that won't happen. as I said, hope I won't be needing all your kind advices but please jump in if you have any idea

I know that those are not the cheapest choises but I think I what else is there? One of the girlfriend favourite is the 500 Abarth but that's over budget, too small to have a the only car in the house and problably not much cheaper to run
