You;ll have two soon then 3, then NO Xantias at all Jim,

Robert, auto on the DERV is too SLOW.... Needs to be manual for the best in economy.

That's an interesting one at £1495 with 140K - mine's only done 56K but admittedly does look lovely in black.

How do you know?

Have you resprayed it since yesterday then Franklin?

I'm a quick worker Jim - done the Activa repairs too!

Should have, obviously, read - "mine's only done 56K but that one admittedly does look lovely in black."

Given the mileage, I would want to be sure the head gasket(s) is(are) not on the way out, as they have on one of mine after only 125k approx, especially as a garage repair might cost about the same as the whole car!! It is still very tempting though and I hope it goes to an enthusiast!! With regards, Matthew T.

Miles more economical than the TCT

The Auto Derv is adequate. The manual is faster and more economical, but its a manual...

MTXM,

Apparently so, the head gaskets useually get eaten away at around 100k.... which has made me think, this engine Im going to put in the SEi V6 of mine is on around 95k... Prehaps an idea to do those while the engine is on the floor... with a pictorial... one less worry and more to add to the value..

Robert, with a TD manual, theres not much need for gear changing, the tourque is good enough stay in gear...
