I read you have to watch out for organisms living in the organic substances, as these can eat away at parts of your fuel system. Something about it in Auto Express this week.

I personally think £13k would be a good price. Spec: A3 Sportback (2004-54) 2.0TDI Sport Manual Lava Grey 23,500 Miles on the Clock (just went over) 2 Owners, both from same house hold. Optional Extras: Chrome Roof Rails - from factory Fitted Chrome Pedals about a month ago MOT and Service...

Exactly, I'll catch you all up at fuel stops :) but i agree lets just do the Alps and back. Having now visualised the route! £900 all in you think? Including hotels, food, tolls etc. The mileage for this one must be nearing double the last one!

Have just checked the route on google maps its about 2,300 Miles (if we do the loop, go back to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to close the loop then back to UK (destination Bristol) Seems like a good route. We thinking 3 days? Bearing in mind its about 36hrs pure driving?

Was wondering what sort of route would be taken? Maybe down towards Monacco then over to Italy and back up? Don't really have any idea's for routes or if thats a possibility or not. And in reply to that I'll bring the TT instead if its that much of an issue!:arco::arco:

Amen! Got the 5 door diesel, doing the bike test. Caterham to follow! O yeah and eventually kids!

I love the yellow. I personally don't like the Orange, just reminds me of the Focus ST!

Tempted! Any other oil burners? Comon!

Indeed can't wait for a look see! Now, to save for the new camera, get a driving buddy and await a new event! I do get the biggest buzz from convoy driving! Looks good so far.

Awwwwww (thats all I can hear in my ear at the moment from the gf!)

Not seen these for sale. Qualty good? Where from? Price?

200BHP from Jatex and Remap? Sounds good. Is that Jatex alot better than the Miltek? (Sorry off topic!)

I hear they charge more than £127 anyway! More like £250.

Well in the end never went through with it as it was my mums car then and I bought it off her. Cost to change would have been about £12k? And that would of been 'cash' as it were no finance deals for them.

Interesting debate! Didn't expect this much! I agree on the point 100% Finance is just silly. In someways a PCP (another can of worms) can be tempting BUT: a) Never own it b) Can't modify it as you don't owe it c) Deposit up front d) Big pay up at the end where you give the car back...
