I even got money back for the ol' xantia :)
Anyone in for the alloys and good tyres, I still have them, taken off and delivered to my home free of charge. Loved it! :)

That's good service Jaap :D

Ebay the wheels and tyres. Always a good demand for Activa wheels here but I guess the cost of shipping would be a bit much from your place to here...

Turby Diesel may go warp speed again for the coming year :) Passed the test with flying colours! Happy days! (wheel alignment 0% toe in or out ha ha)
Very good results on emission-brakes-shocks and all the rest of it! :)

Did do a few odd jobs and checked her over, always helps o'course. Now the guy I bought this one from .....:) :) Robert I did put that EGR socket back on just to be sure for this test. I know you advice to disconnect but I didn't notice any difference at all - or am I daft now...

Your's will be fine too Russ.
I was surprised at the thoroughness of this man, he did brake and shock tests etc. all twice,,,,,,,,,made me a bit un certain but I later found out something went wrong with his computer so he had to do it all again :)

Hate it when things like that happen. You're then convinced it has failed...or he has found something. err.

Yeah nice result though.

Well ....we will see on Tuesday....
