Sub £1000 with masses of cheap parts.........frenchy pug. or a Renault maybe.
Our company hack for years was a pug 406 estate, I found it comfy & economical.

I have one of them as a work hack/courtesy car,197k on the clock and runs as well as ever

Indeed. The 406 does do well

diesel is a horrible, utterly spiteful fuel which belongs in space heaters and cross-channel ferries - only.

Any diesel will be terribly slow and sound just like a skeleton masturbating inside a filing cabinet. Aviod.

Evidently you haven't driven any modern diesel. 

What I miss is the lovely smell of diesel on your hands everytime you fill up.  They did solve that problem 21 years before the first diesel engine though - 1876 when the petrol engine was invented .

Im sure Peugeot diesels stink more than any other diesel , when following any of them i just have to close all air vents as its quite overpowering

That may or may not be so. Does not matter to the OP, 'cos if he owns it, he'll likely to be driving it, as as such unable to follow it.

what if he's stuck at lights and the wind is from behind and he hasn't got the auto recirculate feature

Will be interesting to see what car the op picks

Well so far I'm taking a slow approach as to what to do on this.My current thinking[?]so far is to[in no particular order]stick with the Jag as a part time "toy"and press the Mig v6 into more daily use,or although my preference is for a saloon go for a 2.2 Saab 9-3 which is a hatchback-is that the same engine as in the mig?-or the third option at present which was sparked by the suggestion of another mig is to indeed buy another mig but the estate car version,to compliment the saloon I have now.The question is if I go the mig route which engine should I go for the 2.2 or the 2.5[did they do a 2.0 diesel]?

[omega3000]

All i know is dont go for the auto diesel

What bugs me is that diseasal drivers seem to be so keen to share the experience that they feel compelled to splash diesel over the petrol pumps and the ground in front of them 

I may have to fit an LPG conversion so I can get my own clean pump to fill up at

+1 could not agree more. Would just add they are awfull for your neighbours. when they start up on a cold morning it wakes the entire street up 

agreed both of you.. but the picture become completely intolerable when you are surrounded with diesels on a blocked traffic..
 
you simply cant breathe .. cant open windows.. their exhaust comes inside even with inner cycle flap closed..
