Well I'm very happy to announce that the search for a Mégane replacement has ended as quickly as it started.
And what has it been replaced with!?
That's right. Life just wouldn't have been the same without one, they're the best all rounder I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and from the first click of the start button on this one, I knew I'd made the right decision!
It's a 2003 "03" 2.0 16v VVT Privilège 5 door with plenty of optional extras and 57k miles.
I spotted it on an ebay auction 10 hours before it was due to end. Very vague description, but after consulting a few mates (thanks Citroenmad) I decided to take a gamble. Flight booked to Birmingham and I picked it up yesterday morning.
It has every option, apart from heated seats and the glass roof. New to me is ESP, cruise control, xenon headlights and satellite navigation. Most impressed by the Xenon headlights so far. Not only do they give the car that special look, but the levelling dance they do and the intensity of the light output it just brilliant. Unfortunately the map disc for the nav is very scratched, and the car can't read it. So please, if any of you have or know of one of these around, I'd be happy to give it a home! I tried the one from aunty's Vel Satis and of course it's different
Back to the car. What it needs: 3 tyre pressure sensors which were removed by some ignoramus tyre fitter. Rear end feels a bit fidgety. Full set of mats. The one key card is a bit battered looking but fully functional. Gas struts for the boot have given up. Belt changes for my own piece of mind as there's no paperwork about changes, despite lots of old MOTs etc. Oh and of course that all important navigation disc. Not bad at all I think, and nothing that spoils the enjoyment of the car right now, I'm really enjoying being back in one, now just to get my plate put on it
