Want a 306 Estate, unsure of what's the best engine?

[tigerstyle]

I get to do a bit of AC work with my job, so am aware of the problems of systems being left open, wasn't sure if it was the pipes corroding or compressors packing up inside. But as you say leaky pipes and most owners will probably leave it broken, will probably cross working aircon off my list of desirables!
Although if I'm lucky to get one in working order I can be sure to keep the pipes sweet and hopefully get some use of it.
Can see why removing the aircon pump is a popular mod on here now!
