| Nice looking car, pity about the hole in the roof, it must think it's a Disco TD5! Seriously, is there a winding handle in the pocket by the roof switch, they used to put one there. Worth opening and ... |

| Kwikfit got £50 for an introduction when we had a Polo. If you are over 50, try Saga Insurance. Churchill used to be competitive, haven't seen them advertise for a while though. |

| A suggestion. Look at later 4.4tdv8 or supercharged cars circa 2011 on. I bought a reasonable 4.4 tdv8 last year for what you were asked for a 3.6 motor, which have more faults. The bigger v8 is a nic ... |
