Really umming and aaring...

[Guy]

I've found a black 3 door K12 dci 86 with 9,000 miles on it for £6k. Mine's on 118,000 and has developed a new misfire on cylinder 3 so I don't know if the engine's screwed or not. I do massive mileage so the uber-economy of the diesel is tempting...

Do I buy it ?!

You can chip them up quite easily to near-100bhp too and not lose any economy

 

[Guy]

You read my mind sir .

Do it! I'm gonna be doing it to the Almera when I have a bit of cash spare! Although I might need to upgrade my turbo too as they're quite weak on the Almera!

Think I'm gonna take the loan and reserve this car tomorrow. I did a quick calc on fuel savings and they're massive:

Gonna have to start looking for springs and alloys now .
