The black HDi was incredible and yes I built the engine myself and specced that AWESOME turbo. But It needed a whole new wiring loom amoungst £5000 worth of other repairs and mods to make it what I wanted. £1000 needed spending to make it into a car that was even close to what id call reliable (the wipers and headlights didnt work all the time and it needed suspension bits just to make it safe)
Your all close. Left the house at about 8am today and have been and seen 3 cars on a 400 mile round trip. I've conned a dealer into swapping my coupe (on its standard wheels) for a 306 roadster that hes gonna fix a couple of issues on, get me a full MOT and another 6 months tax. 2.0 16v Full leather interior, working electric roof and also its hard top.

Can you imagine how big he'd look sat in one.
