We decided it had to go and needed a replacement pronto, and I'm very grateful for the feedback.
We have bought this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ogcode=emf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The bodywork and interior are virtually as new, the 14" alloys might well be new, are they standard on the desire?
I managed to persuade the owner to get a new mot, which he did and we picked it up yesterday.
We are over the moon with it, this is the first car she's had with P.A.S., c/locking, or electric windows, and whereas previously all these things were described as 'rubbish to go wrong'(she took some persuading), having driven it a few miles, I now can't get the keys off her.LOL
Together with the silver Hdi Exclusive they make a lovely pair.
Now I've just got to figure out how to add it to my signature.
Kind regards
Paul
