i know mate, tough decision:crying:, but ive got my heart set on a focus st...:yes:.. it does need that alternator tensioner doing though as its starting to squeak on start up in the morning, but it stops once engine warms up.!! but i'm knocking that off the price..

Apoligies to the mods, but having trouble placing this in the classifieds.. For sale.. Audi A4 1.9 tdi estate-- 1999 (facelift model) T-reg in laurel green metallic 12 months mot 6 months tax 139,000 miles work carried out on it in the last year-- rebuilt cylinder head, new timing belt...

Big big thanks to Siena, who for the past day and half has repaired my cylinder head and replaced all the gaskets, belts etc..we were still out till 10 last night and the thing wouldnt start!! (problems with the lifters, i'm sure he'll explain more later!!):ermm: So Siena came back next morning...

I had mine done 2 years ago by ultralase at chelmsford, i was -3.50 in both eyes, had the wavefront lasik( the most expensive one!!) at £3k... best £3k i've ever spent, i paid it interest free over 3yrs. Night vision (bright lights etc)takes a while to settle, but the results are instant...
