Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Excellent turbo diesel engines and the series III cars (post Aug 94) are well put together too (relatively speaking!) Cheap and generally very reliable.

Aug 2006 at 16:27 Dave, they are cheap indeed, but finding a decent one with a/c in my price range isnt proving easy I was looking at Xantia estates, but these seems rare and or expensive!!! the 940 Ovlov has a huge boot too lol

And don't dump the old ones in a field... About a year ago there was a bomb scare when a farmer found what seemed to be some sort of un-exploded WW2 armament and turned out to be a rusty Citroen sphere... It's a real story.
