and he's had it 2+ years, and put about 40k on it, alternator died, at 111000, but to be fair, after that kind of mileage you would expect things to start breaking

not as nippy as the 1.5td according to the specs tho... I get 300miles out of £30 ragging most of it in the 1.5td. I get more when I don't rag it (obviously lol)

true... mines nearly 120k but it runs sweet, well it should do the amount of time its been garaged recently lol, new clutch, 4 new tyres, new oil sump, new tracking ball joint, airbag ecu went last week but fingers crossed it should so up until 160k fault free for the cam belt change.
I think thats down to dishonest people selling me it... but it does work hard for me.... diesels go forever if u look after them!

dead simple engines too, only about 3 electrical things on them. my alternator died last week but took me half an hour to put a new one on it today, most reliable car ive ever had, goes and goes and goes without any major mechanical fault (alernator is the only problem i have had in 40,000 miles of driving
