If your looking further afield for an auto estate...thought about Volvos? plenty are autos and are great cars to own if you but sensibly. I loved mine before running costs forced it on.....850 T5![]()
Is it worth fixing yours up? sometimes its better the devil you know
I'm not sure without looking it up, it was certainly a basic car, no speedo just an ammeter, the tyres were heavy duty motorcycle tyresCitroJim wrote:Is that the little Citroen 5CV Richard?
No I'll do it after I've bought the car as it would be a little complicated as the donor/recipient car needs to be registered in the same name when the transfer is done and as the chap I'm buying the car from lives the opposite side of London I can't be bothered running back and forth with the paperwork as it'll delay when I can pick up the car, personal plates are a bit of a PITA when you change car's.CitroJim wrote:I hope the cherished transfer goes as smoothly as mine did. Are you attempting a double/simultaneous transfer of numbers?
I'm not sure exactly but along the lines of residual heat being preserved in some way or form, when I get my hands on the beast I'll let you know howCitrojim wrote:Storage heater? What's that all about then? Sounds like a very sensible idea
SAAB had a system a few years ago that used a ceramic exhaust that retained much of the heat generated while driving and released it slowly to keep the engine warm for the next mornings start. This was for slightly sub-arctic conditions of course.DickieG wrote:I'm not sure exactly but along the lines of residual heat being preserved in some way or form, when I get my hands on the beast I'll let you know howCitrojim wrote:Storage heater?

Funny you mention the BMW Chris as I've now had it for almost two weeks and driven it just three times which includes the journey homeCitroenmad wrote:The BMW sounds very nice Richard, hopefully it will be hassle free for you. Its a bit of a change from a C5 HDI estate, though probably a better choice!
In a word yes, once I'm certain my BMW is sorted out and I've changed the number plate over, the challenge for me will be to avoid shedding a tear as its been a great car for me over the three years I've owned it and I regard it as a good, trusted friend, yes I know I'm an idiot but I must reduce my fleet and this is part of the master planCitroenmad wrote:Are you planning on selling your HDI?
