Thanks for that but when I have seen some really bad comments about imports mainly around can you trust the history, difficulty in getting parts and more worrying trouble insuring Are they valid Cheers Peter

I have been searching for weeks to find a good 7 seater 300Tdi in the UK ( I am based in Cheshire ) for around £2k+ So far the ones I have found have been far from good. People say they are in great condition and when I get there the boot and sills are obvious rotting away !! Any suggestions from anyone as to where I should go to find a genuine one ? Many thanks Peter

I have a limited budget ( under £5k ) and originally I was looking for a 300Tdi of which there are plenty but most of them rust buckets. I was told I should really consider a TD5 as its a better engine, the car is a better drive and less chance of rust ... So I started looking and I could find on autotrader quite a few under £5k but I wasnt sure whether I should be looking at an early TD5 with high mileage (120l+) or I stick to paying more for a low mileage example.. The problem I have at the moment is that I have a Nissan Patrol which I need to part-ex which restricts me to trade purchases and thus paying more.. I am based near Crewe in Cheshire if that helps.. cheers Peter
