Yea Yea I know, I no longer have a LC but one day............
Anyroad after selling the truck I bought a 5hitty pug 307 which has been nothing but money down the drain, so I'm looking at getting something half decent which I should have done the first time. I'm looking at a 2004 vw passat 1.9 tdi 130 highline, does anyone here have one of these or know anything about them that I ought to know?
I looked into getting a colorado D4D but the cost of the motor and running costs are out of my reach at the moment
So far in the paast 3 months the pug has had a recon turbo £800, refresh oil change after 1k miles with the turbo £40 a new intercooler pipe that pi55ed oil out £25 rear brake pads £30 new rear tyre £60 new exhaust down pipe clamp £5 next weekend with the help of our uncle Chris a new OSF wheel bearing (unless the whining noise turns out to be the gearbox ) So you see why I'm a little pi55ed off with it, even if it is the wheel bearing and all seems OK I'm just waiting for the diesel recirculation filter to go, at £400, These cars are an embarrassment, but then again they are French.
I so so wish I'd kept the truck, especially with the snow we've just had, I could have used those mud tyres that I'd waited so patiently to use all summer
Hope you're all OK and that one day we'll meet again !!!
