Thanks very much for your replies. I agree; the Renault is a bit more stingy on the MPG and cam belt needs changing every 70k miles or 5 years - the Pug Meridian is around 90k with no time interval recommendation!
I guess I am looking for something that's a bit more rugged and cheaper to run.
£3100? here's a breakdown:
Between post MOT 2015 - MOT 2016:
MOT: £390 (obviously a fail, LOL)
Insurance: £419 (no claims but 1 x rescue call)
Full Service: £198
MOT: £121
Cambelt et. al.: £292
Exhaust sections, Aux Belt, Track Rod End: £362
Tax: £245
And the rest in odds and sods and diesel for my work which is a hilly 50 miles' commute away. New, local employment has been acquired!
I was looking at a 11 y/o Fiat Stilo JTD 1.9 diesel @ 79,000 miles OTC, as well. Is that a bargepole job, too?
