That's ours.

I've just found this one on the net.

a little over your budget £8.5k, but only 28k on the clock, 2007 model, with 150 bhp. Way way way better than the car you've been looking at which is way over priced and sounds like a shed.

Mmmmm the VX 1.9CDti engine - from Fiat.

£1k when the fuel pump fails.
£250 a pop for injectors when they fail.
Swirl valve bar where the ball joints wear out and the only fix is a new manifold - £1K.
Hope they've put the ECU in a sensible place on the Atra, or that's £1k when that rots through.
EGR valve that's always full of shite.

Yeh, good engine when it runs.....
