Can I join in with my dirty diesel? :D Oh, add Aldi's car park to that list too! :lolup:

Ahhh, ok. In my Vectra now I have a kenwood headunit which I'll probably sell. I've just plugged my ipod thru the AUX connection, and likewise charged it thru the fag lighter. Just wondered if anyone had any different setups. :)

Cheers fella. Will probably have a few questions at some point! :D I was attracted by the tax/ insurance side. Better than my thirsty V6 by far! I'm not into slamming cars suspension-wise, but I'd like to drop it probably 45mm?

I was under the impression it wasn't a great standard HU. Is there a way of charging and playing my ipod thru the standard HU? I guess something like a Connects2.

No one then?

I saw he wasn't on here. I'm picking up a Mk3 DCi 86 Dynamique in what I believe is Oyster Grey? Got some Megane Nervasports in the garage that need a refurb, and then got to decide on how big a drop, and what spacers to get. I live in Mollington, but work in Adderbury, so I commute across...

Depends what you use. Remus centres (like I have on my 2.5) are quite raspy, but once warmed up they're not bad. 2.6 engine note is pretty much the same really. Depends on the backbox too. Most go for the Double D as the Letterbox is a bit more restricted. Magnex is a popular centre section...

This one? The ultra rare ST3000

I get mine tomorrow too! :D Oh, and funky haired Clio man - were you texting on your phone in your lap, or just checking out your own ****? ;)

What's so special about the burger then? In terms of it's size, I'd polish that meal off no worries.

Well I can respect that fella. Happy hunting! :)

Or a Toyota.

If that was the job I was buying a car for, I'd rather spend it on a Saab, or a VAG.

Mine doesn't! Or won't at least. Hehe. The clio will handle better out the box though, whereas the Vectra needs money throwing at it. I can see where you're coming from though. The estates were my fave. My 2.5 was pretty good, but still, went wrong more than a car should.

Oh I'll agree, if I was to pick one, the GSI would top the lot, but at the end of the day, they're cheaply built and go wrong horrendously sometimes. I can't see why anyone would pay that much for a Vectra. As for tax, you're right. Still,the late ones are £270 a year. According to Parkers...

Hahaha. In your opinion Daniel. You can pick up Vectra C's now for less than that. Plus don't these fall into the ridiculous tax bracket too?

Correct! :)

It's a Vectra for a start. Having owned mine for 5 and a half years, I would never, ever, pay that much for one. Just because someone is willing to pay that much for it, doesn't make it a good price. There's a legendary thread on VVOC, of someone who sold one for £10k only a year or so back...

Massively over priced. Even with that low mileage. I wouldn't have another. Rust buckets, and expensive to maintain. Parts are dirt cheap, but they fail so often.

I will hopefully be going. Just gotta get my ticket. Be rude not too, seeing as it's only about 5 miles up the road! :D

Likewise. I'm changing from the Vectra to the Clio. It's £90 cheaper for a start, at £250. Then, non-performance mods are free. A remap would cost me £60 more. Win!

Put a deposit down for it!

Well, I rang my local dealer (Jaybee),and gave them the reg. They told me it was 96k/ 6 years.

Lol - you say that to all the DCi owners! I'm already on there fella. Pretty sure you said "welcome" on my newbie post too! :D

It was ok - cambelt isn't due on the later DCI' till 96k miles or 6 years.

Put my deposit down today. Pretty chuffed! Unfortunately didn't get my own piccies - that'll be next week! Here's the dealer's pics. DCi 86 model with A/C It's got some minor scuffs on the back bumper that I will get sorted. Also; the trim around the radio, has actually peeled away and is...

Ok, further to the comment on the cambelt. It's not the above, it's actually 96k miles or 6 years! Seems quite a long time to me?

Looking at this Clio DCi: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201221472498771/usedcars?logcode=visc Just rang them up (the garage), and asked some questions. All HPI clear, fresh certificate available. FSH - 5 stamps. Seems to have been to the dealer for the first 2, then an...

Cheers dude. Will get some pics up this weekend of the condition they're in. Going car shopping tomorrow for the car they'll hopefully be going on! :D
