A very nice find! 8-)

A Turbo Auto is a very good combination, the only bad thing is its appetite.

If yo can get it road going for £500, that will be a bargain.

ouch - I knew they'd do 30s on a run but 20mpg urban is OMG!!

I'm assuming an lpg conversion is the way to go.

if they agree to the price and the MoT doesn't show up anything expensive, then yes I will be keeping it. The BX auto will be going instead.

ouch! :o But at least 15mpg on lpg is like 23-5mpg in real terms in terms of cost.

What's worse is the S2 VSX has a fuel consumption reading! :-(

Does it put me off though ...

Good man Campbell.

I really like the Xm estates, or maybe I like mine so much because it has a 2.5 lump in it! I have to say the 2.5 has me converted over. The 2.1 is a snail in comparison!
