    cheers mate, ive been looking at a tdi for a while and they are mostly sheds with crap interiors, this was there in black and a bargain at £695 with a years mot so put a deposit straight on it and zoomed up on the train the next day (only 20 quid) it was smoking on the way home and quickly discovered a split boost pipe, now it drives lovely and quick enough for everyday use 110 on my cabbage field so far lol
